Christmas Santa Tart - Quick Dessert with Apples and Nuts If you want to delight your family with a delicious and aromatic dessert on Christmas Eve, this tart with caramelized apples is the perfect choice. With flavors of cinnamon and walnut, the celebration will have a special taste that no one will forget. Here’s how to prepare it step by step! Preparation time: 20 minutes Baking time: 60 minutes Total time: 80 minutes Number of servings: 8 Ingredients: - 6-7 apples (preferably sweet apples like Golden or Fuji) - 3 tablespoons lemon juice - 5 tablespoons butter, at room temperature - 5 tablespoons blueberry or sour cherry jam - 100 g chopped walnuts - 5 eggs, at room temperature - 5 tablespoons brown sugar - 5 tablespoons flour - 1 teaspoon baking powder - 1 packet of vanilla sugar - 1 teaspoon cinnamon - 2 tablespoons honey for glazing Instructions: 1. Preparing the apples: Peel the apples and remove the cores, then sprinkle them with lemon juice. This step is essential to prevent the apples from oxidizing, keeping them a beautiful color and fresh taste. 2. Arranging the apples: Place the apples in a greased baking dish or tart pan, ensuring they are positioned with the opening facing up. 3. Filling the apples: In each apple cavity, add a teaspoon of blueberry (or sour cherry) jam and sprinkle with chopped walnuts. Add a pinch of cinnamon on each apple and place a little butter on top. 4. Baking the apples: Place the dish in a preheated oven at 180°C and bake for about 30 minutes, until the apples become soft and start to caramelize. This is the perfect moment to fill the house with enticing aromas! 5. Preparing the batter: In a bowl, beat the egg whites until frothy. Make sure they are at room temperature to achieve a well-aerated foam. In another bowl, mix the egg yolks with brown sugar and vanilla sugar until the mixture becomes creamy and light in color. 6. Combining the ingredients: Gently fold the egg whites into the yolk mixture using a spatula, with light up-and-down movements. This will help retain the air in the egg whites, ensuring a fluffy texture. Gradually add the flour mixed with baking powder, continuing to mix gently. 7. Finalizing the tart: After the apples have baked, pour the batter over the apples in the dish. Return to the oven for another 30 minutes, until the tart is golden and passes the toothpick test. 8. Serving: Once baked, let the tart cool slightly before inverting it onto a platter. Glaze it with honey to add a touch of sweetness and sprinkle with crushed walnuts for a crunchy and delicious appearance. Serving suggestion: You can serve the tart warm, alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of sweet cream, for a refined contrast with the caramelized apples. This simple and quick recipe for Santa's tart will surely be part of your holiday menu! With each bite, you will feel transported to a world of winter flavors, and Santa will definitely be delighted with this fluffy treat.
