Treacle tart, a classic English dessert, is sweet, comforting and moreish. It is made using shortcrust pastry, with a decadent filling made of golden syrup, also known as light treacle, breadcrumbs, and lemon juice. The tart is normally served hot or warm with fresh cream or custard. The use of lemon and apple cuts through the sweetness and turns this into an unforgettable treat.
The word treacle refers to all forms of syrups made during sugar refining, from golden syrup through to black molasses. I have used walnuts to replace half of the breadcrumbs and added 2 tablespoons of crystallized ginger for a nutty and spicy filling.

- To make the pastry, mix the spelt flour, ground walnut, icing sugar, salt and butter to a crumb-like consistency. Add the egg and, if necessary, a tiny drop of water to bring the dough together. Shape dough into a disc, wrap in clingfilm and refrigerate for an hour.
- Heat the oven to 190C/375F. Roll out the dough thinly on a lightly floured surface and line the base and sides of a 28 cm/11 inch tart tin. Trim the excess, line with baking parchment and dried beans, and bake for 15 minutes until starting to colour. Carefully remove the paper and beans, then bake for a further 10 minutes until pastry is golden. Cool.
- In a food processor, blend together the buckwheat bread, walnuts, chopped crystallized ginger and raw sugar until fine breadcrumbs form. Set aside.
- Place invert sugar syrup, butter, palm sugar, lemon juice, coconut cream, vanilla extract and nutmeg in a small saucepan and stir over medium heat until the mixture bubbles and well-blended. Whisk in prepared breadcrumbs until combined. Pour into tart shell.
- Quarter apples, core and cut each into 2-3 wedges. Starting at the edge of the tart, arrange apple wedges in concentric circles. Scatter the chopped almonds over if using.Bake for 35 minutes or until firm to the touch. Cool for 15 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature dusted with extra icing sugar or whipped cream.

Great looking tart....been a while since I baked my last tart..this looks good enough for a pinterest:)
Gorgeous tart! I was so impressed with the look of that filling, and then I started reading the ingredients and saw .... buckwheat bread??? That's really interesting. I have never seen anything like that. Is that sweet bread? I wish I could try one of those slices. I guess I will have to try making something similar and see for myself. Thanks for sharing, Angie. Have a great week :-)
perectly baked tarts. I am drooling here. Looks yumm.
Beautiful presentation, Angie! This reminds me of my trip of London, having tea with these tarts :)
This is just nothing short of stunning! LOVE the combination of crystallized ginger and coconut cream! Mmm.. Pure decadence!
Lovely fresh flavors in that gorgeous looking tart

I love treacle tart, but I think the changes you have made make it even better!
This looks beautiful! Thank you for the mentions too, I really appreciate it. I love how you made yours, it looks utterly gorgeous!
Gorgeous tart Angie, I saw it over at Emma's blog. I like your adaptation it's very pretty and the barrier of texture must be lovely. The Québequois have something like this called sugar pie and it is very sweet.
This is a great tart Angie! I like that it´s thin so the sweet isn´t overpowering. Adding the apples and ginger is perfect.
What a perfect fall dessert, Angie!
What a lovely tart and baked so beautifully. The slices display a perfect center.

What a lovely tart!!! I think of the scene in Chitty Chitty Bang Bang where the children are tempted out of hiding by the mean child catcher with sweets.... and one of them he mentions is the Treacle Tart! I was never sure of what one looked like until now. Yum!!

All the flavors here sound so scrumptious - and you like nuts as much as I do :) I had heard of treacle but wasn't sure what it was, so I learned something, too!
You have no idea how much I wish we could sit down for tea together and you, of course, would bring this tart (and maybe some adorable kitties?). This is exquisite and I did not know what treacle was and am so glad you educated me. I love knowing about food from all over the world. Thank you and have a wonderful week my friend!

Angie, that is a gorgeous tart. I would like having the apple to cut the sweetness of the treacle a bit. And I love Pink Lady apples, when I can get them.
I have been living in London for almost 10 years and I've never tasted a treacle tart! It looks amazing and I am sure very sweet!
Oh wow....beautiful tart. I want a big piece :D
