Thermomix Tarif Defterim is 4 years old !

Years fly indeed. It feels like yesterday when I decided to become a blogger.
I tried many recipes since then. There have been times where I was very active, posting something new almost every day. There also have been very quiet periods where I couldn't find time to take care of anything. Nevertheless I never gave up on my blog even at times I seemed distant. And here I am today.. celebrating its 4th birthday.

I happily see that the number of blog's followers, who are connecting from all around the world, has been increasing despite the unfortunate fact that Thermomix is still not sold in Turkish market.

I would like to take advantage of this special day and thank you all guys for following Thermomix Tarif Defterim via Blogger, Facebook and Pinterest, and everybody who contribute with mails, messages and comments.

For blog's 4th year celebration I decided to prepare this Apple Tart with Mascarpone Cream.

I hope you enjoy it...

Ingredients:

Tart:
Peel of a lemon or an orange, cut into pieces (without the white)
80g brown sugar
300g flour
1 egg (60g)
1 egg yolk
130g cold butter, chopped into small pieces
1 tsp baking powder

Cream:
3 eggs (60g each)
60g sugar
20g vanilla sugar
500g mascarpone
40g flour

To decorate:
3 Golden apples, peeled, thinly sliced (my apples weighed around 200g each)*
3 tbsps brown sugar
10g melted butter

Preparation:

Tart:

• Place lemon (or orange) peel in TM Bowl together with sugar. Pulverize for 10 seconds on Speed 8.

• Add the remaining tart ingredients, mix for 20 seconds on Speed 5.

• Wrap with stretch film and let it rest in the fridge for 15 minutes before you use.

Cream:

• Insert Butterfly. Add eggs, sugar and vanilla sugar. Beat for 6 minutes on Speed 3.

• Remove Butterfly.
• Start Thermomix on Speed 4. Add mascarpone through the hole of TM Lid by spoon.
• Add flour and blend for 10 seconds on Speed 3-4.

Putting everything together:

• Grease a 23cm round and deep tart or cake pan. (My pan is 24cm) Cover with baking paper.

• Cover pan's bottom and sides with tart dough.

• Pour cream over the tart base.

• Decorate with apple slices.

• Sprinkle apples with brown sugar and brush with melted butter.

• Bake for 50 minutes in preheated oven at 180°C.

• Let it cool at room temperature. Then let it cool in the fridge for several hours and serve. 

Enjoy.
