Crust
- 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
- 11 tablespoons cold unsalted butter
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- 1 large egg yolk
- 4 tbsp cold water
Filling
- 8 ounce goat cheese
- 4 to 5 Granny Smith apples
- 1/4 cup honey
- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1 egg
For the Crust
Cut the flour and salt into the butter with either a food processor or hand pastry cutter until about pea-sized pieces remain. Add water and process just until dough comes together. Refrigerate for one hour then roll out and place in 9 inch tart crust pan. Prick the tart crust generously with a fork, including in the corners. Blind bake in preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 15 minutes with pie weights. Cool
For the filling
Peel and slice 4 to 5 Granny Smith apples. Cook in pan on stove over medium heat until apples have softened and browned a bit (about 10 minutes). Combine goat cheese, honey, whipping cream and egg in food processor and process until smooth. Add to cooled pie crust and place apples on top. Add pie shield or aluminum foil to crust to prevent over-browning. Bake in preheated 350 degree Fahrenheit oven for 35 minutes until filling is set and apples are slightly browned.
