Tahini Apple Tart
If you’re someone who loves a dessert packed with fruit and texture, this apple tart is made for you. The double dose of sesame is used in both the crust and filling, giving a nutty, earthy pop against the natural sweetness of the apples. They get tossed in ground cardamom for a wonderfully sweet, warm scent. Sesame is used twice: First, it becomes a spreadable paste with tahini, butter, sugar and egg, which becomes almost halva-like when combined with the cardamom-scented apples. Second, sesame seeds (and sugar) get sprinkled along the edges of the tart, making for a strikingly beautiful, textured crust.Â
Ingredients:
- 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more as neededÂ
- 1 tablespoon sugar
- 1 1/4 teaspoons kosher salt (such as Diamond Crystal)
- 3/4 cup/170 grams unsalted butter, cut into small cubes, chilledÂ
- Ice water, as needed
- 1/3 cup tahini
- 3 tablespoons sugarÂ
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter, at room temperatureÂ
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 pounds crisp, tart apples such as Honeycrisp or Pink Lady (about 6 medium apples)Â
- 1 tablespoon cider vinegar or lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons sugar, plus more for sprinklingÂ
- 1 teaspoon ground cardamom
- Heavy cream, for brushingÂ
- 1 to 2 tablespoons white sesame seedsÂ
- Vanilla ice cream, whipped cream or crème fraîche, for serving
Instructions:
- For the Dough: Whisk together the flour, sugar and salt in a large bowl. Dump in the cold butter and toss until coated in the flour mixture, separating any pieces that stick together. Use your fingers to smush and flatten each piece once.
- Drizzle 1/4 cup ice water over the flour mixture. Repeatedly run your fingers through the mixture, as if rummaging through a drawer, until combined. The dough will start out looking dry then become very shaggy. Transfer to a clean work surface and use your palms to knead the dough together, forming a ball with no dry spots. You may need an additional tablespoon or two of ice water to help the dough come together, but even then it will be shaggy, not smooth or shiny.
- Wrap the dough with plastic wrap and use your hands to flatten it into a round disc about 1-inch thick. Chill for 2 hours or up to 3 days.
- Lightly dust a clean work surface with flour and roll out the dough, turning it to prevent it from sticking between rolls, into a 14-inch round. Gently gather both ends of the dough and transfer to a parchment-lined baking sheet. Refrigerate the dough while you make the sesame spread and apple filling.
- For the sesame spread: Whisk the tahini, sugar, butter, egg and salt together in a medium bowl until smooth. (You can make the sesame spread 5 days ahead; just bring to room temperature before using, so it spreads easily.)
- For the filling: Heat the oven to 375 degrees. Peel, core and thinly slice the apples (see Tip). Toss the apple slices, vinegar, sugar and the cardamom together in a large bowl until the sugar feels like it has dissolved.
- Remove the dough from the fridge and plop the sesame spread in the center. Use the back of a spoon to evenly distribute the sesame spread, leaving a 2-inch border. Arrange the apples on top in whatever manner you like. Fold the edges of the dough over the apples to form the crust, then brush the dough with heavy cream and sprinkle with sesame seeds and more sugar.
- Bake on the bottom rack for 40 to 50 minutes, rotating the pan halfway through, until the crust is deeply golden brown and the apples are tender. Let cool for 20 minutes before slicing and serving with the topping of your choice.

I don't think the cardamon flavor was pronounced enough so would add another teaspoon next time. Leftovers were even better the second day.",

Made the crust & tahini mixture the day before & put it together & baked it in the afternoon for dinner. Used the crust recipe but used the “foolproof butter crust” technique from ATK & the crust turned out great. Grate 4 T of the butter & put it in the freezer. Combine half the flour, sugar & salt in the food processor with 1 stick of cold butter cut into small pieces until it comes together in a ball, about 30 seconds. Then, break the ball of dough apart and distribute around the bowl of the food processor. Pulse in the rest of the flour until just combined. Turn out into a bowl. Add the frozen grated butter and toss until butter is coated. Add 2 T cold water and bring together with a rubber spatula. Then add another 2 T cold water. Form into a disc, wrap in plastic wrap & rest in the fridge for at least 2 hours. Rest at room temperature for 10 minutes before rolling out. Rolls out like a dream. Nice & flaky. Crust is my favorite part of any pie. I weighed my apples & used 4 honey crisp apples to reach 2lbs. Sliced thinly & microwaved for a couple minutes to get them started cooking. Baking time at 375 for 55 minutes. \nThe flavor combination of the tahini mixture & apples is really good. I served it with creme fraiche and a caramel sauce made with Sagardoa hard cider from an ATK recipe. Really fabulous.",

I also added a little cinnamon to the apples, since I find cardamom overpowering on its own. The sesame filling did turn out bitter for me, so I'm going to see about sourcing a different brand of tahini. The tub I got was freshly opened. I also had to bake for 15-20 minutes longer. But all in all this was a neat twist on an old favorite and I will make it again.",

In hindsight I suppose I could have made more flat layers to fit in more, but this result was great. \nBaked around 65 minutes to match the golden hue of the photo. Filling was perfect, pastry was on the crunchy side.",

Next time will do thinner to optimize how I can arrange the slices - and I plan to sprinkle sugar on the apples as well as the crust. Bake time is listed as 40-50. I started with 40 - not golden. Added 10 min to take it to 50. Still not great. Kept going up by 5 minutes and took it out at 70 minutes. Now notice that summary at the top says the \"cook time\" is one hour, 30 minutes = 90???",

"description": "If you’re someone who loves a dessert packed with fruit and texture, this apple tart is made for you. The double dose of sesame is used in both the crust and filling, giving a nutty, earthy pop against the natural sweetness of the apples. They get tossed in ground cardamom for a wonderfully sweet, warm scent. Sesame is used twice: First, it becomes a spreadable paste with tahini, butter, sugar and egg, which becomes almost halva-like when combined with the cardamom-scented apples. Second, sesame seeds (and sugar) get sprinkled along the edges of the tart, making for a strikingly beautiful, textured crust. ",
