Directions
- For the vanilla pudding
-
Scrape out the pith of the vanilla beans. Place heavy cream and milk in a pot. Add vanilla and stir over medium temperature, bring to a boil. Let cool after.
-
Mix egg yolks with powdered sugar until very light and fluffy. Sift in starch. Add to cream-milk-mixture, stirring constantly and let come to a boil again.
- For the tart
-
Sift flour onto a working area. Make a hole in the centre and add egg, 100 grams of the sugar, baking powder and baking soda. Quickly knead into a smooth dough. Wrap it in wrapping foil and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
-
Wash raisins and let drain water. In a small bowl drizzle with rum and allow to infuse for 10 to 15 minutes.
-
For the filling, roughly chop almonds and hazelnuts. Mix with heavy cream, vanilla extract, jam, raisins and marzipan.
-
Preheat oven to 360 degrees.
On a floured working area place dough. Sprinkle with flour, so it won't stick to the surface. Roll out as much as it fits onto a 10'' springform-pan. Place dough, press with your fingers and push it up the mold edge, about 3 cm high.
-
Wash apples and peel them. Get rid of the core with a apple corer. Place apples onto the dough. Fill in with marzipan-mixture.
-
Pour in vanilla custard.
Bake for 70 minutes at 360 degrees.
Remove tart from the oven and let sit for 24 hours for the custard to harden before serving.
