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.

- 1 ou - 1 egg
- 1 galbenus - 1 yolks
- 1  praf de copt - 1  baking powder
- 150 g unt - 150 g butter
- 200 g zahar - 200 g sugar

Crema / Cream:
- 1l  lapte - 1l milk

- esenta de vanilie - Vanilla
- 8 galbenusuri - 8 yolks
- 250 g zahar - 250 g sugar
- 100 g amidon alimentar - 100 g food starch

Pentru inceput ne ocupam de aluat: amestecam faina, untul, zaharul si praful de copt. Adaugam oul si galbenusul de ou. Compozitia obtinuta trebuie sa fie destul de sfaramicioasa. Se pune intr-o folie alimentara si se tine la frigider cel putin o ora.

First we handle the dough: Mix the flour, butter, sugar and baking powder. Add the egg and egg yolk. The composition obtained must be quite crumbly. Place in a food wrap and refrigerate at least one hour.

Crema - se pune laptele la fiert impreuna cu coaja de lamaie. Galbenusurile se bat cu zaharul pana se albesc si apoi se adauga amidonul. Amestecul format se toarna putin cate putin, amestecand continuu peste laptele fierbinte. Se lasa la foc mic pana se ingroasa crema. La final se adauga esenta de vanilie.

Cream - is put to boil milk with lemon zest. Beat yolks with sugar until whiten and then add starch. The mixture is poured little by little, stirring constantly over the hot milk. Allow to simmer until thick cream. Finally add the vanilla.

Aluatul il impartim in doua. Intindem 2 foi. Punem o foaie pe fundul tavii, o intepam cu furculita si adaugam crema.

We divide dough in half. Stretch 2 sheets. Put a sheet pan bottom, a prick with a fork and add the cream.

Deasupra punem cealalta foaie si bagam la cuptor pana se rumeneste frumos, aproximativ 40 minute.

Above put  the other sheet and stuffing in the oven until browned nicely, about 40 minutes.

Tarta Tatin / Tatin Tart

Ingrediente / ingredients:

Pentru aluat / For the dough:

- 150 g unt - 150 g butter
- 50 g zahar pudra - 50 g powdered sugar
- un ou - An egg

Pentru umplutura / For the filling:
- 50 g unt - 50 g butter
- 125 g zahar - 125 g sugar
- 2 linguri apa - 2 tablespoons water
- 500 g mere curatate si taiate felii - 500 g apples peeled and sliced
- vanilie sau scortisoara - vanilla or cinnamon.

Optional: eu am pus si caju, migdale si banane uscate.

Optional: I put and cashews, almonds and dried bananas.

Facem un aluat din faina, unt, zahar pudra si ou. Il punem in frigider pana pregatim umplutura.

We make a dough of flour, butter, powdered sugar and egg. Put it in the fridge until prepare the filling.

Punem la topit untul, adaugam apa si zaharul. Lasam pe foc pana se caramelizeaza usor compozitia.

We melted the butter, add water and sugar. We leave on fire until mixture caramelizes slightly.

Turnam compozitia intr-o tava tapetata cu hartie de copt, iar deasupra am pus migdalele, caju si bananele uscate. Se pot inlocui cu stafide sau orice alt fruct uscat preferat.

Pour into a pan lined with parchment paper and on top put almonds, cashews and dried bananas. You can substitute with raisins or other dried fruit favorite.

Deasupra punem merele, ideal ar fi sa se suprapuna pe 2-3 randuri, ca sa avem fruct din plin in tarta. Le stropim cu esenta de vanilie sau scortisoara.

Above we put apples, ideally to overlap the 2-3 lines, to have plenty of fruit in the tart. Sprinkle them with vanilla or cinnamon.

Intindem o foaie din aluat si o punem deasupra merelor.

Stretch a piece of dough and put it over the apples.

Lasam la cuptor in jur de 30-40 minute, pana se rumeneste frumos, aluatul.

We leave in the oven for about 30-40 minutes, until the dough is nicely browned.

Dupa ce scoatem tava din cuptor, o lasam vreo 10 minute si apoi o rasturnam.

After you remove the pan from the oven, leave it about 10 minutes and then overturned.

Se serveste imediat!!!!

Este delicioasa!

Serve immediately!!
