Apple Crumble Tart

I've heard about crumble related tarts, pies which claimed to be most hassle-free bakes of all but they didn't draw my attention at all, until lately I've tasted this applie crumble tart, baked by a friend from our sewing group, Hmm.

Like the soft caramel apple filling , the crispy crust & the crumble top ,perfect match!

Egg Tarts


This has been our family's all time "tim sum" favourite, the traditional chinese restaurant in the 70's serve was flaky skin pastry utilizing mainly lard . Though some of the restaurant here still serving the flaky skin type, but the taste is un-competible since it has been replace by crisco for a more healthy choice.
I planned to bake this using traditional flaky skin recipe which i found on web, but has last minute changed my mind as the fats required on oil dough for both crisco & butter are too heavy . Alternatively , go for the crust pastry skin which is equally good after all we are after the egg custard.

Little Devil

I have to confessed that I baked this totally out of "Curiousity" ! Beforehand, I make it a point that I will bake it only if I have left with extra egg whites to waste (if it didn't turned out)+ the day that I'm in a perfectly good mood prepared for failure, so yesterday was the day that matches these critiria.


Ok, got the "feet", I'm almost there, But........... SWEET! , that's all I could comment about this little devil, I prefer to look at it than to eat it.
