Alsatian Apple And Cream Tart - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 (9 inch) ready-made pie crusts
fresh lemon juice
4 granny smith apples, sliced thinly (or in 8s)
4 1/2 tablespoons sugar
3 large egg yolks
1 cup heavy cream
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/3 cup golden raisin, soaked in rum for at least 2-4 hours
1 pinch cinnamon
1 pinch salt
1 1/2 tablespoons sugar, for dusting, don't use if you want to cut on sugar (optional)

Preparation

Prick the bottom of the shell and bake it on the lower third of a preheated 375\u00b0F oven for 15 minutes, and let it cool in the pan on a rack.
In a bowl stir together the apples, lemon juice, and 2 table spoons of sugar and toss the mixture until the apples are coated well.
In a large bowl whisk together the yolks, the cream, 2 1/2 tablespoons of remaining sugar, a pinch of salt, and vanilla and stir in raisins.
Arrange the apples decoratively in the shell, pour the cream mixture over them, and sprinkle the remaining 1 1/2 table spoons of sugar with the cinnamon over it.
Bake the tart in the middle of a preheated 375\u00b0F oven for 1 hour, or until the apples are tender when pierced with a cake tester, let it cool in the pan on the rack.
Serve.
