Original Recipe

Tarten afal Gymreig glasurol yw hon, gyda’r llenwad afal wedi’i rwymo â blawd ac afalau fel nad yw’n berwi drwy’r crwst.

Cynhwysion:

Ar gyfer y llenwad:
250g o afalau
30g o flawd
225g o siwgr
1 wy
Wy wedi'i guro a siwgr brown euraidd ychwanegol i'w ysgeintio dros y darten.

Ar gyfer y Crwst:
225g o flawd
115g o fenyn
1 llwy fwrdd o siwgr mân
1 llwy de o sinamwn wedi'i falu
1 melynwy
ychydig o ddwfr rhew-oer i rwymo'r does

Dull:

Ar gyfer y toes: rhwbiwch y menyn i'r blawd, ychwanegwch y siwgr a'r sinamon, yna rhwymwch gyda melynwy ac ychydig o ddŵr oer iâ nes bod toes crwst cadarn yn ffurfio. Siapiwch yn bêl, gorchuddiwch â haenen plastig ac yna ei roi o'r neilltu i orffwys. Ar gyfer y llenwad: pliciwch a chreiddiwch yr afalau, yna torrwch gnawd yr afal yn ddarnau bach. Cymysgwch y siwgr a'r blawd gyda'i gilydd mewn powlen ac ychwanegwch yr wy wedi'i guro; curwch yn dda gyda'i gilydd ac yna ychwanegu'r afalau. Leiniwch blât dwfn (neu dun tarten) gyda dwy ran o dair o'r crwst wedi'i rolio allan a'i dorri i ffitio. Rhowch y cymysgedd llenwi ar hwn. Rholiwch weddill y crwst, ei dorri'n stribedi cul, eu troelli, ac yna eu ffurfio'n batrwm dellt (cris-cross) dros y llenwad, gan docio lle bo angen. Brwsiwch y troeon crwst gydag ychydig o wy wedi'i guro ac ysgeintiwch siwgr brown euraidd drosto. Pobwch mewn popty wedi'i gynhesu ymlaen llaw i 200C am 30 i 40 munud, nes bod y llenwad ffrwythau yn feddal a'r crwst yn grimp ac yn frown euraidd. Gweinwch wedi'i dorri'n ddarnau gyda hufen, hufen iâ neu lefrith oer.

English Translation

This is a classic Welsh apple tart, with the apple filling bound with flour and apples so it does not boil through the pastry.

Ingredients:

For the Filling:
250g apples
30g flour
225g sugar
1 egg
A beaten egg and extra golden brown sugar to sprinkle over the tart.

For the Pastry:
225g flour
115g butter
1 tbsp caster sugar
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 egg yolk
a little ice-cold water to bind

Method:

For the pastry: rub the butter into the flour, add the sugar and cinnamon, then bind with an egg yolk and a little ice cold water until a firm pastry dough is made. Shape into a ball, cover in clingfilm (plastic wrap) then set aside to rest.

For the filling: peel and core the apples, then cut the apple flesh into small chunks. Mix the sugar and flour together in a bowl and add the beaten egg; beat well together and then add the apples. Line a deep plate (or tart tin) with two-thirds of the pastry rolled out and cut to fit. Spoon the filling mixture onto this.

Roll out the remainder of the pastry, cut into narrow strips, twist them, and then form them into a trellis (criss-cross) pattern over the filling, trimming where needed.

Brush over the pastry twists with a little beaten egg and sprinkle over some golden brown sugar. Bake in an oven pre-heated to 200C for 30 to 40 minutes, until the fruit filling is soft and the pastry is crisp and golden brown.

Serve sliced into wedges with cream, ice cream or cold milk.
