Caramel Apple-nut Tart – We Love God!

The tongue is you in a unique way. It is the tattletale on the heart and discloses the real person. Not only that, but misuse of the tongue is perhaps the easiest way to sin. There are some sins that an individual may not be able to commit simply because he does not have the opportunity. But there are no limits to what one can say, no built-in restraints or boundaries. In Scripture, the tongue is variously described as wicked, blasphemous, foolish, boasting, complaining, cursing, contentious, sensual and vile. And that list is not exhaustive. No wonder God put the tongue in a cage behind the teeth, walled in by the mouth!

INSTRUCTIONS

To prepare the crust, preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Put the flour,
shortening, butter, and salt in a medium bowl. Using your fingertips,
mix the shortening and butter with the flour to form a coarse meal.
Using a dinner fork, stir in the water, just until the dough starts  to
come together. Add more water if needed; a wet dough is better  than a
dough that is too dry. Cover the dough in plastic wrap and let  stand
for 15 to 30 minutes. Uncover the dough and roll it out into a  12-inch
circle on a well-floured work surface. Place the dough in a  10-inch
flan pan and bake in the oven for about 10 minutes, or just  until set.
Remove from the oven and allow to cool. Do not turn off  oven.  To
prepare the filling, place the sugar and water in a large saute  pan
and cook over high heat until the sugar browns, about 5 minutes.  Do
not stir until the sugar starts to brown. Slowly add the cream and
cook until the mixture thickens, about 5 minutes. Add the rum and
bring the mixture to a boil. Remove the pan from the heat and set
aside to cool completely. When the mixture is cool, stir in the egg
and vanilla. Set aside.  Put the nuts, diced apples, cinnamon,
allspice, and nutmeg in a  medium bowl and toss well. Place the mixture
in the bottom of the  crust, pour the filling over the top, and shake
the pan gently to  evenly distribute the filling. Bake in the oven
until the center of  the tart is bubbling, about 30 minutes. Remove
from the oven and let  cool about 20 minutes  If serving the tart with
whipped cream, whip the cream to soft peaks.  Slice the tart, top each
slice with a dollop of whipped cream or a  scoop of ice cream, and
serve.  Converted by MC_Buster.  Per serving: 562 Calories (kcal); 41g
