Tart Crust

Apple Filling

Brown Butter Cardamom Ice Cream

Method

Tart Crust

  1. 1

    Prepare the Crust

    In a saucepan, melt the butter until browned, then let it cool. In a mixing bowl, combine flour, powdered sugar, and salt. Add the cooled brown butter and mix until crumbly. Add egg yolk and cold water, mix until a dough forms. Refrigerate for 30 minutes.

  2. 2

    Roll Out the Dough

    Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Roll out the dough on a floured surface and fit it into a tart pan. Trim the edges and prick the bottom with a fork. Bake for 15-20 minutes until lightly golden.

Apple Filling

  1. 3

    Prepare the Filling

    In a large bowl, toss the sliced apples with sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice, and cornstarch until well combined.

  2. 4

    Assemble the Tart

    Spread the apple mixture evenly over the baked tart crust. Bake in the oven for an additional 30-35 minutes until the apples are tender and the filling is bubbly.

Brown Butter Cardamom Ice Cream

  1. 5

    Make the Ice Cream Base

    In a saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat until browned. Remove from heat and let cool slightly. In a bowl, whisk together heavy cream, milk, sugar, cardamom, vanilla, salt, and egg yolks. Slowly add the brown butter, whisking until smooth.

  2. 6

    Churn the Ice Cream

    Pour the mixture into an ice cream maker and churn according to the manufacturer’s instructions. Freeze until firm before serving.
