Vegan tart without special ingredients!

Have you made the experience that vegan baking is difficult and in the end never tastes as you had imagined?

We want to help you reward your baking efforts with great and delicious results. We put up with a lot of failed attempts for this! In this way you can safely save yourself these failures and benefit from our results, which are almost always positive in the end.

If you’re a big tart fan and don’t know our other tart recipes, you can find the strawberry tart with vanilla cream and our recipe for a chocolate tart with liquid caramel here. This is a bit more demanding to prepare but worth a real sin! You will definitely make an impression with this and nobody will notice that it is vegan!

Our vegan apple tart is so great because it uses just a few, uncomplicated ingredients. When it comes to preparation, however, it’s all about the details if you want to make them particularly pretty.

First you prepare a shortcrust pastry from the few ingredients. You should not knead this for too long so that it does not become tough later. Then put the dough in the fridge to rest for about an hour. So that you can roll it out later, we shape it into a flat cake rather than a round ball. This makes it easier to roll out and tears and crumbles less at first.

In the meantime, you can relax and prepare the apple filling. For this you cook a large part of the apples (as described in the recipe) into a compote. For a round taste we add lemon juice and a cinnamon stick or alternatively cinnamon powder.

After the resting time, the dough is rolled out thinly on a floured work surface. Therefore, it is best to carefully lift it off the base and turn it again and again so that it does not start to stick when it is rolled out. When the dough is about 3 cm wider than the tart tin, roll it loosely over your rolling pin and unroll the dough over the tin to place it in the middle of the greased tart tin. Now press it from the middle to the edge in the form and also shape the indentations on the edge of the classic tart form.

The tart keeps its shape best if you blind bake it beforehand. It is advisable to put baking paper on the dough and put a few dried beans or rice on it, which should weigh the dough down and prevent it from bubbling. Another advantage is that the tart does not get soaked so easily by the apple filling.

When the dough is blind-baked after 15-20 minutes, it is filled with the apple compote and covered with thin apple slices. We think the rose pattern is very beautiful, but of course you can also use any other pattern here.

A small hint:

As you slice the apples thinly, drizzle some lemon juice over the apple slices to keep them from turning brown.
