Apple Walnut Gorgonzola Tart Recipe
Apple Walnut Gorgonzola Tart Ingredients

Apple Walnut Gorgonzola Tart Recipe
1 1/2 cups peeled, cored, chopped apples (use a good cooking apple such as Jonagold, Pippin, Granny Smith, Jonathan, Golden Delicious, Gravenstein, Mcintosh)
- 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
- 1/4 cup crumbled gorgonzola cheese
- 2 teaspoons chopped fresh thyme leaves (or 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme,
crumbled) - 2 Tbsp honey
- 2 7-ounce prepared puff pastry sheets (total 14 ounces)
- 1 egg, beaten
How to make Apple Walnut Gorgonzola Tart
- Place chopped apples in a bowl, microwave on high heat for 5 minutes until apples are cooked through. Remove from heat and let cool. Drain excess moisture. Once cooled, chop further so that the pieces are between 1/4-inch and 1/2-inch square. (Note you can skip this step if you want; the main purpose is to get the apples to release some of their moisture before cooking into the pastry.)
- Combine apples, walnuts, gorgonzola, thyme and honey in a small bowl.
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Working with one puff pastry sheet at a time (leave the second one in the refrigerator until using it) roll out the pastry to a size of 9-inches by 12-inches. Cut into 12 3×3-inch squares (a pizza slicer works great for this). Paint 1/2-inch of border around each square with beaten egg (this will help the pastry seal). Place a heaping teaspoon of the apple walnut mixture in the center of the squares. Fold over the squares into a triangle shape, stretching the dough if necessary to cover the filling. Use the tines of a fork to crimp the edges. Place triangles on a silpat or parchment paper lined baking sheet, with space between the triangles. Chill for 5 minutes in the refrigerator before baking, or chill while you prepare the second puff pastry sheet.
- Whisk in a half teaspoon of water into the remaining beaten egg. Use a pastry brush to paint on the tops of the pastry triangles for a nice glaze. Place in oven and cook for 15-20 minutes until nicely puffed up and lightly browned. Allow to cool for at least 20 minutes before serving.
- Makes 24 turnovers. Serve either warm or at room temperature. Can be made several hours in advance.
- Apple Walnut Gorgonzola Rustic Tart is ready to serve.

- 2/3 c Confectioners sugar
- 1 Egg
- 1 tb Cornstarch
- 1/2 c Milk
- 1 Lemon peel

How to make Peach and Almond Tart:
To prepare the pate royale, sift 2 cups flour onto a work surface & make a well in the center. Place the salt, 1-1/2 tsp. sugar, 1/2 lb. butter, 2 egg yolks, & cream in the well. Mix the liquid ingredients in the well with the fingertips, gradually incorporating the flour. Knead with the heel of the palm to obtain a smooth dough. Work the dough as little as possible. Chill the dough at least 30 minutes before rolling out. Meanwhile, prepare the almond cream by creaming 6 tablespoons butter & beating in the almonds & confectioners sugar. When the cream mixture is well blended, whisk in the egg. Beat in the rum & the cornstarch, whisking until the mixture is light & smooth. Set aside. To make the pastry cream, scald the milk with the lemon peel & vanilla extract. Whisk together the remaining 2 yolks, the remaining 1/4 cup sugar, & the remaining 2 tablespoons flour. Pour the scalded milk into the yolk mixture, whisking constantly, & return mixture to saucepan. Boil vigorously for 3 minutes, stirring continuously to prevent scorching. Remove from heat, add remaining butter, & leave to cool. Preheat oven to 425 F. Remove chilled pate royale from the refrigerator & roll out to 1/8 inch thickness. Line a 9-inch flan ring or French tart pan with the pastry dough. Combine the almond cream with the cooled pastry cream & spoon the mixture into the pie shell. Plunge the peaches into boiling water for 30 seconds; rinse under cold water. Remove the skins & slice each peach into 8 wedges. Arrange the peach slices on top of the filling in a decorative pattern. Bake in oven for 25 to 30 minutes or until the almond filling is puffed & browned.
