{Guest Recipes} The Forest Feast – Butternut Apple Tart

I have mixed feelings about sharing today’s Guest Recipe from Erin Gleeson of The Forest Feast—the recipe looks amazing, but I am sad it’s our last installment with Erin. Over the last four weeks, she’s shared delicious recipes for Sesame Edamame Salad, Roasted Potato Green Bean Salad, Pesto Deviled Eggs, and this week, a Butternut Apple Tart. It’s been such a pleasure hosting her recipes here. Thanks for all the inspiring recipes, Erin!

Butternut Apple Tart

I know fall is here when my CSA starts to brim with apples and squash. This savory tart is very comforting when the weather starts to cool. I used a pre-made pie crust, but you can certainly make your own. It works for breakfast, lunch or dinner and is great with an herb side salad. Bon Appetit! —Erin

Ingredients

1 pie crust (store bought or homemade)
1 onion, sliced
butter or olive oil
1 tbsp chopped rosemary
1 c ricotta
1 egg
2 apples, sliced into thin circles
1 butternut squash, peeled and sliced into thin circles
olive oil
sea salt

Preheat oven to 350°. Caramelize the sliced onion in a bit of butter or olive oil over medium low heat. Boil the squash slices for 5 minutes to soften them. Form crust in pie plate. Combine caramelized onion, chopped rosemary, ricotta and egg, and spread on the bottom of the pie crust. Layer alternating apple and butternut squash slices over the ricotta layer. Before baking, drizzle with olive oil and sea salt. Garnish with rosemary. Bake for 30 minutes.
