Incalzim usor laptele , adaugam galbenusurile, zaharul, coaja de la 2 portocale si punem la foc mic pana se ingroasa. La final adaugam esenta de vanilie.

Slowly warmed milk, add egg yolks, sugar, zest of 2 oranges and put on low heat until thickened. Finally add the vanilla.

Gelatina o dizolvam in sucul de la o portocala si urmam instructiunile de pe pachet.
In crema racita adaugam frisca batuta, eu am folosit o frisca neindulcita si gelatina.

 Dissolve Gelatin in the juice of one orange and follow the directions on the package.
 I used an unsweetened whipped cream and we put in the orange cream with gelatin.

Punem folie alimentara intr-o cratita si tapetam fundul si peretii cu felii de portocala.

We put foil in a saucepan and wallpaper the walls with orange slices.

Adaugam jumatate din crema.

Add half the cream.

Adaugam piscoturi inmuiate in suc de portocale. Daca portocalele nu sunt prea dulci, adaugati 1-2 linguri de zahar.

We add biscuits soaked in orange juice. If oranges are not too sweet, add 1-2 tablespoons of sugar.

Adaugam restul de crema si incheiem cu un rand de piscoturi.

Add the remaining cream and closed with a row of biscuits.

Acoperim cu folie si lasam peste noapte in frigider.
A doua zi il rasturnam pe un platou.

Cover with foil and leave overnight in the refrigerator.
The next day we overturned on a platter.

Tarta de iarna / Winter tart

Ingrediente / ingredients:
- un aluat fraged pentru tarta - A pastry for the tart
- 2 kg de mere - 2 kg of apples
- 6 oua - 6 eggs
- 6 linguri de zahar - 6 tablespoons sugar
- 3 linguri de stafide - 3 tablespoons raisins
- o esenta de rom - A rum
- 4-5 felii de cozonac sau turta dulce  - 4-5 slices of Walnut Bread  or gingerbread
- o lingurita de scortisoara - One teaspoon of cinnamon


Intindem aluatul intr-o tava pentru tarta si il intepam din loc in loc.

Roll the dough into a tart pan and prick it from place to place.

Un kilogram de mere il curatam si il taiem felii. Feliile le punem intr-o tava pe hartie de copt, presaram stafidele si le dam la cuptor pana se rumenesc frumos.
Dupa ce le scoatem, le asezam frumos pe aluat.

A kilo of apples clean it and cut it into slices. Put the slices in a pan on parchment paper, sprinkle raisins and give them in the oven until nicely browned.
After them out, we sit nicely on the dough.

Adaugam scortisoara si bucatele de cozonac. Putem pune turta dulce, dar mie mi-a ramas destul cozonac de la craciun si am facut aceasta tarta cu el.

Add the cinnamon and pieces of Walnut Bread. We can put gingerbread, but I remained with a lot of Walnut Bread  from Christmas  and made this tart with him.

Batem ouale cu zaharul si romul. Turnam toata compozitia peste cozonac. Deasupra punem restul de mere taiate feliute.

Beat eggs with sugar and rum. Pour over the walnut bread the entire composition. Above we put  sliced of remaining apples .

Lasam la cuptor pana se coace tarta, aprox 45 minute la foc mic.

Leave in the oven about 45 minutes on low heat.

Bon Appetite!
