A simple apple tart
(Photo@TheFoodTraveller.com - Canon PowerShot G2)
I love apple cakes and tarts. The world is full of recipes and I would like to share the simplest recipe I ever came across ... extremely tasty and compatible with a diet! Most of the work goes in peeling and slicing the apples. If you can, use renette apples. Otherwise, use any other variety which has a sour and dry bite (when not cooked).
Serves: 8
FlexiPoints: 5
Ingredients:
- 1 kg renette apples
- 100g butter
- 100g flour
- 100g sugar
- 5g baking powder
- 8g vanilla sugar
- 1 egg
- 100ml milk
- Salt, flour and margarine as needed
How-to:
1. Quarter, peel and slice the apples.
2. Melt the butter in the milk and set aside.
3. Work together the egg and sugar with a pinch of salt. Add the vanilla sugar and the baking powder. Whisk in the buttermilk. Once homogeneous, add also the flour one spoon at a time through a sieve. Work until a bubbly batter is formed.
4. Mix the batter with the sliced apples.
5. Grease a round baking tin for quiches and dust it with flour. Pour the cake batter in and bake at 170C for about 60’.

Hmmm. 100 gr butter and still compatible with a diet? What about skipping the butter and making it like a sponge cake, maybe with one extra egg?
You should go once to Sofitel Cocagne hotel in Eindhoven, they have delicious applepie there also. Although last year they change the ingredients from apple to a fruitmix of apple and apricots. But still they are very tasty!
The problem with a sponge is that it needs butter, more flour and more egg. Diet wise 1 egg is like 20g of butter, 10g of flour is like 10g of butter.
In the end (calculating the famous points), I have yet to find simething less fatty ... a portion here is almost like a greek yogurt portion.
The problem is that I like it warm with some vanilla icecream :-)
Another option is making apple crumble with little crumble and a lot of apple. And yes, I like it also with cold ice cream or half-whipped cream. I even feel the calories coming up as I think. Must not go to the fridge...
