Ingredients
- 7 Golden Delicious apples, divided use
- juice of 1 lemon
- dash of salt
- pinch of cinnamon
- 1 tsp. prepared horseradish
- 1 tart shell
- 4 Gala apples
- 3 Tbsp of butter
- 2 oz. bourbon
- 2 Tbsp. honey, optional
Directions
-
Heat oven to 350 degrees.
-
Peel, core and slice 4 of the Golden Delicious apples. Add the lemon juice, salt, cinnamon and horseradish, and cook at a very low temperature until it forms applesauce, about 20 minutes. Do not rush this step.
-
Bake tart shell in oven until a light golden brown. Keep the oven on.
-
Core the remaining 3 Golden Delicious apples and the gala apples and slice them thin. SSA bit of lemon juice will keep them from browning. Heat the apples in the microwave for 2 1/2 to 3 minutes to soften them slightly.
-
When the applesauce is ready, drain any excess juice through a sieve or strainer and place the sauce in the bottom of the tart shell, standing the apples slices at an angle in the applesauce.
-
In a small pot, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the bourbon and cook until reduced by half. Pour gracefully over the top of the completed tart. Bake for 20 minutes.
-
Cool and serve, If desired, drizzle honey over the top.
