Special Apple Tart

Materials:

1 lemon, halved

2 to 3 Granny Smith apples

1 ready−to−use puff pastry sheet, 8 to 10 ounces (available in

supermarkets)

2 tablespoons superfine sugar

1 tablespoon melted butter

Preparation:

Heat oven to 425F. Squeeze the lemon into a wide, shallow dish, and top with

cold water. Peel and core apples, then cut in half. Immerse apples in lemon

water. Place puff pastry on a large baking sheet. Use a sharp knife to

lightly score a half−inch border; do not cut all the way through. (This will

allow a frame of pastry to rise above the apple filling.) Refrigerate until

needed. Pat apples dry, and cut each half into quarters. Slice each quarter

thinly. Remove pastry from refrigerator, and sprinkle with 1 tablespoon

sugar. Working inside scored lines, place neat rows of closely overlapping

apples, until pastry is covered. Brush apples with melted butter, and

sprinkle with remaining sugar. Bake until pastry puffs around apples and

fruit is soft and lightly colored, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve warm.

Zest is not the same thing as the peel, or rind, of a lemon, although it is a part of the peel. The zest is the colorful outer layer of the citrus peel. The soft, white part of the peel just underneath the zest is the pith. The reason that the zest is so desireable is that it contains lots of essential oils that make for a strong, pleasant flavor. The pith has a bitter flavor, with very little citrus taste when eaten on its own. The pith can actually give your baked good a bitter or slightly unpleasant taste if you incorporate it into a recipe (there are some recipes that call for using a whole fruit, but those usually compensate with extra sugar), so it is important to remove only the zest from the citrus rind when you are using it. The zest can be removed very carefully with a sharp pairing knife, ...
