Hungry for Hunger Games: Mellark Bakery Apple Tart

[KayteeLola]

This looks so good!! ..But I'm allergic to apples..any possible substitutions? (Also allergic to peaches, apricots, plums and cherries...yes I know, it sucks)

[schemestresses]

@KayteeLola I think strawberries would be good, but you'd want to bake the shells longer in the first round, and the bake the whole tarts less in the second round. If you weren't allergic to peaches, that would be my first choice. What about nectarines?

[lamecatcook]

hi there, in the uk here i think royal gala apples are a close match, i'm not so good with apple types so will try with those and i hope it comes out nice! x

[TheChambers143]

This as a desert, the springtime soup, with those cheese biscuits would be perfect lol

[webkinzandpie]

I remember now it's lamb stew with plums that katniss has at the Capitol please make that :)

[webkinzandpie]

You should make the stew with the plums that katniss loves I forgot exactly what it was...

[scribbleXpages]

I made these with my friend yesterday and they were quite good :) I do have a question though. When we made the goat cheese mixture, it was a bit liquid-y. Do you have any ideas on how to fix this?

These taste even better the day after you make them too!

[schemestresses]

@scribbleXpages Sure! Either use a little more goat cheese or cut back a bit on the lemon. You could also chill the mixture a little before you use it - if you do that, make it about an hour ahead of baking your pastry shells. Glad you liked them!

[101pllfan]

Can I substitute the goat cheese for cream cheese???

[schemestresses]

@101pllfan If you do substitute it, I would suggest using Ricotta cheese first with a little extra lemon juice. But if you go with cream cheese, add a pinch more salt. Really, you can't substitute the tast of goat cheese since it's so unique, but at least that way you get a similar texture.

[101pllfan]

@schemestresses Oh Thanks! I'll just stick to the Goat Cheese! :)

[LollyHungerGames]

I never realized so many words rhyme with tart :)

[13EINALEM]

Absolutely tempted to make them now!!!!

[JamesDurbins1stfan]

These are delicious! I made them for my book club (since we are reading the hunger games) and they worked out perfectly! Thanks for making these videos and keep making more!

P.S. My librarian asked about the apples, we live in Ohio, and don't really have a variety. lol. Would normal apples work fine? She's just making them for herself, and she doesn't care it there a little off. Thanks and write me back!!

[schemestresses]

@JamesDurbins1stfan Glad you liked them!! As far as apples go, Honey Crisp apples would be a good substitute and are more readily available than Pink Lady or Cortland. I'm in Indiana though, and was able to find Pink Lady apples. If you can't find either of those, I suppose you could use any apple, but the flavor wouldn't quite have the same strength. In that case, then just don't use Granny Smith :)

[cooldood42]

how on earth do you know how to make them...??? does the book have recipies in it???? I wouldnt think a book would take the time to describe that kinda stuff...??? you must of had to look highe an low to find out how to make those or you guessd or the book says sumthin about it i dont know

[schemestresses]

@cooldood42 We made them from the Unofficial Hunger Games Cookbook - there's a link to the cookbook in the video description if you are interested in checking it out!

[gabeally]

You should definitely make the lamb stew!

[zombieanimator00]

I love the selfless advertisement there dear! haha

[VACrabapple]

Yum. :)

[Rheesepuffs97]

i am soooo making this!!!! :D ... maby u guys shoukd try the recipes from the ball from mocking jay.. there seemed to be alot of recipes there ^-^

[siriusbsns]

These cooking videos are really nicely edited and explained! Awesome job!

[TheXllamasx]

You should make either the lamb stew or wild dog. Seriously :)

[101pllfan]

Would it be okay if i baked it wiht wax paper underneath?? Sorry Lol I'm new at baking (:

Or would it just catch of fire?? :)

[schemestresses]

@101pllfan I baked mine with wax paper underneath because I didn't have parchment paper, and it worked great! Just make sure you don't have any extra wax paper that overhangs on the cookie sheet :)

[101pllfan]

@schemestresses Oh Thanks! :)

[jillaboo]

@101pllfan I just made these... I just used a non-stick baking sheet, and they were fine :)

[101pllfan]

@jillaboo Oh!! How where they? :)

[jillaboo]

@101pllfan They were pretty damn good! xD I made a batch of 6, ate 3 after I made them, and then the other 3 this morning.. soo yummy. xD

[Jozamonster]

That looks so tasty

[Jozamonster]

I think it's pronounced meh lar k not mu lark

[ukfswmart]

Why not just spoon the cheese picture onto the pastry shells to avoid spending money on buying ziploc bags every time? ;)

[schemestresses]

@ukfswmart The creamy mixture is actually pretty stinking thick, so spooning it out is difficult to do without it getting everywhere. Believe it or not, I did try that... and I had a lot to clean up afterwards :D

[ukfswmart]

@schemestresses Haha, fair enough! Tasty tasty cleaning up, I presume?

[schemestresses]

@ukfswmart Oh yes! A lot of finger-licking goodness!

[Boredallthetime777]

This makes me nostalgic....

[TheMinuteVlog]

Once again, tell us how to cook wild dog.

[TheMinuteVlog]

You have so much skill at one-handed egg-cracking.

[kenzietheterrible]

I love this series. A lot.

[jillaboo]

Oh dang, these look friggin delicious! I am so making these! Good call on reducing the recipe... I should have made fewer biscuits when I did mine, there were way too many for me. xD (Also, Pink Lady apples are some of my favorite snacking apples! :D Soo goood.... oh, and Honey Crisp apples would probably make a good substitute if you can't find Pink Lady! ^_^)

[schemestresses]

@jillaboo Honey Crisp would be a good choice! I think they are more readily available too.

[kagomegirl92]

So happy to see this in my subscription box and I clicked on this video immediately! This is making me hungry! It looks delicious and yet seems like it's not too hard to make! Thank you for this video and I'm looking forward to the next one!

[schemestresses]

@kagomegirl92 Thank you so much!

[GaarasloveofLee]

Oh man i wish i could remember the name right off the bat but its the stew that was made in the blackmarket by that old lady its where katniss was selling her catch of the day.

[abberz07]
