Which Apples Are Best For Making An Apple Tart
There are so many varieties of baking apples, you may want to experiment to find your favorite one to use in this apple tart recipe. The best apples for baking should have a good balance of sweet and tart flavors. You can even use two types of apples together to create a good sweet-tart balance. The flesh should be firm. Apples with soft flesh do not hold up well in baking. This is especially important when you make a rustic fruit tart like this one because the apples will be on display. Common apple varieties that are popular with bakers, and are usually available all year long include:
Honeycrisp Granny Smith Golden Delicious Cortland Gala Jonagold
How Should A Fruit Tart Be Stored
It doesn’t matter if it’s a fruit tart with apples or a different fruit, allow it to cool completely, Then, cover it loosely with foil or plastic wrap. For the best texture and flavor, store your fruit tart at room temperature. It will keep well that way for up to 24 hours. You can also store it in the refrigerator, loosely covered in foil or plastic wrap, for up to three days.
