If this is the one you mean, it's sweet. And good.
HUNGARIAN APPLE TART
Nim Epffel / die klein gehackt seyn / wie man sie zu einer Turten zurichtet /
mach ein an Teig von schoen weissem Mehl / mit warmem Wasser / unnd mach in
nicht gar zu dick. Auff den Boden mach ein Blat von Eyern unnd Butter / so
wirt der Teig desto muerb / thu die Epffelfuell darauf / nim den Teig den du
von Wasser gemacht hast / zeuch in mit der Handt fein duenn auß / wie ein
Schleyer / und mach solcher Bletter zwentzig oder dreyssig auffeinander /
unnd bestreich ein jegliches Blat / ehe du es aufeinanderlegst / mit frischer
Butter / und wenn du sie hast auffeinander gelegt / so beschneits fein
rundt / und scheubs in Ofen / und schaw verbrenn es nit / so baeckt sichs
geschwindt / und lauffen die Bletter fein auff. / Ists aber an eim
Fleischtage / so bestreich sie mit Speck / der fein zerlassen ist / un gibs
warm auff ein Tisch / bestraew es mit Zucker / so ists schowen un zierlich.
Un also macht man die Ungerische Turten.
Take apples chopped finely, as you prepare them for tarts and make a dough
with fine white flour and warm water, not too thick. Place a layer of dough
made with butter and eggs on the bottom so it is nicely crumbly. Spread the
apple filling on that. Now take the dough you made with water and pull it
apart with your hands, as thin as a veil. Make twenty or thirty of these
leaves, all stacked on top of each other, and before you stack each one,
spread it with fresh butter. Once they are stacked, trim the edges into a
circle shape and place it in the oven. Watch out so it does not burn. It
bakes quickly and the leaves rise nicely. If it is a meat day, use melted
lard instead of butter. Serve it warm, sprinkled with sugar, so it it good
and pretty. Thus Hungarian tarts are made.
1/2 lb flour
1/2 lb butter
water
1/2 lb flour
1/4 lb butter
1 egg
water
salt
3-4 apples
sugar
sugar
butter
flour
Make 1/2 cup of flour into a stiff paste with water. Reserve. Work 1/4 lb
butter into 1/2 lb flour, add a pinch of salt and work it into a soft dough
with egg and water. Roll out and use to line a buttered and floured pie dish.
Peel, core and chop apples and sugar to taste (cinnamon and cloves also
harmonise). Spread this on the pie crust. Divide the water paste into 20
pieces and roll or pull them apart as thin as possible. Brush with melted
butter and stack. (it is also possible to make conventional puff pastry by
rolling out the paste, placing bits of butter on it, folding it over, rolling
it out again and repeating the process as often as needed) Place on top of
pie dish, covering the content completely, and trim edges neatly. Bake at
175°C till slightly browned, sprinkle with sugar and serve.
