Rustic apple pie and coconut caramel

A comforting recipe as we like them with this Rustic apple pie and coconut caramel. When I asked you yesterday on Instagram, what recipes you wanted to see in the coming days/weeks, you answered simple recipes, to be made with ingredients that are easy to get!

What's good about this Rustic apple pie, is that it can also be an activity to do with your children. The hazelnut shortcrust pastry first with a little resting time, then the coconut milk caramel, then the cutting of the apples...

What steps to make this Rustic Apple Pie?

I advise you to do as I did, to start by making the hazelnut shortcrust pastry. If you don't have hazelnut powder, almond powder works very well too! While the dough rests in the refrigerator, you can make the coconut milk caramel in your saucepan. By the way, if you don't have coconut milk, you can make a classic salted butter caramel.

This coconut caramel is a recent discovery for me, just 2 ingredients (coconut milk and sugar). They simmer in a saucepan to create a coconut-flavored caramel. In fact, it reminds me a bit of the principle of milk jam, except that here it is without milk (vegan).

For the apples, take the ones you like the most except the green ones (Granny Smith) because they are too acidic. For my tart, I took yellow Chantecerc apples, because they are delicious cooked and already naturally sweet. Have fun arranging them on the bottom of the tart to create a pretty pattern!

This Rustic apple pie and coconut caramel can be enjoyed warm or cold, topped with a little caramel sauce (this one or a salted butter caramel, or even a spoonful of whipped cream...

Prepare in advance 

• To make the hazelnut shortbread dough: mix the soft butter and sugar in a container to obtain a creamy texture. Add the ground hazelnuts and salt. Incorporate the lightly beaten egg then the flour in several batches. Knead just enough. Form a ball and film. Put 1 hour in the refrigerator.
• To make the coconut milk caramel: in the coconut can, take only the solid part and place in a saucepan. Heat a little then add the sugar, continue on low heat for about 15 minutes, the amber color should appear. Before finishing cooking, add a touch of fleur de sel.
• Preheat the oven to 190 ° traditional heat. Roll out the dough to form a round about 35cm in diameter. The edges are irregular and this is what will give all its charm to your pie. Wash, halve the apples and core them. Slice the apples fairly thinly. Place the compote on the tart, making sure to leave 5cm of space all around for the folding afterwards. Then place the apples on the compote. Fold the edges of the tart on itself, then brush with egg yolk. Sprinkle with a little coconut sugar (or other sugar) and bake for 30 minutes (it should be golden brown). Before tasting, cover with coconut caramel.

Notes

If you find coconut cream instead of coconut milk, that also works.

If you can't find coconut milk or coconut cream, make a classic salted butter caramel :)
