German Apple Custard Tart

From: Pie It Forward: Pies, Tarts, Tortes, Galettes, and Other Pastries Reinvented (reviewed 27th November 2016)

Wonderful tart! This was a very nice change from my usual apple desserts. The base is a delicious shortbread cookie crust, the custard comes together quickly and the apples are simply sliced and sautéed. Next time I may try to incorporate a little almond either in the crust or custard.

Part Butter?Part Shortening Easy Pie Dough

From: Pie It Forward: Pies, Tarts, Tortes, Galettes, and Other Pastries Reinvented (reviewed 5th September 2012)

This crust was easy to work with, flakey, tender and buttery-delicious. I used it for both sweet (lemon curd and strawberry) and savory pies, as well as a chili braised pork shoulder (epicurious) hand pie. Regular pie crusts don't always hold up for hand pies but this one gorgeous!

Like eating a delicious cookie! The combination of AP flour and cornstarch makes for a slightly crumbly, shortbread cookie like crust. This crust is just pressed into the tart pan but I do believe it could be rolled out. Was great with the German Custard Apple Tart (page 89).
