Caramelized Onion Apple Tarts

The crispy and flaky crust combined with the creaminess of hung curd and sweetness of the apples makes this dish a great meal.

Today’s recipe is an easy apple tart which is extremely simple to make when you use store-bought puff pastry sheets. But wanting to make everything homemade I am learning how to make puff pastry from scratch. But that’s not an easy job. It’s basically a project! Though the process of making the puff pastry is straightforward, it definitely looks like patience is the key! So what better way to finish all of my trial and error pastry sheets? The obvious way – trying out different varieties of tart fillings!! I don’t mind if they are sweet or savoury. I always love a good tart!

Today’s recipe is one such recipe. It turned out to be one yummy Sunday lunch! The caramelization of the onions and sweetness of the apples made an amazing combination along with an occasional crunchiness of the almonds. These cute onion apple tarts with a side of fresh salad make a complete meal.  Hope you too enjoy this tart as much as we did!! Hoping to make more tarts in the future!

For the dessert, you try these amazing caramel chocolate tarts or gooey caramel cheesecake or the yummy orange cake with semolina

In a nutshell

How to make hung curd at home for these delicious onion apple tarts?

In this recipe, I have used hung curd mainly as a substitute for sour cream. They have the taste of sour cream but a texture of cream cheese. Line a bowl with a muslin cloth. Add a cup of curd into it. Now tie the cloth and hang it from a place where the bottom does not touch the surface. (I usually hang it on my kitchen tap so the water can drain easily into the sink). This would take at least two hours for all the water to drain from the curd. After the water is drained remove the thick curd from the cloth. Use the curd as needed for these delicious tarts and the leftover curd can be stored in an airtight container and chilled for up to a week. Before using chilled hung curd, lightly whisk the curd for a smooth texture.
