Ingredients
- 500g (1lb 2oz) Puff Pastry, rolled and cut into a 30cm round
- 6 large Granny Smith Apples, peeled, cored and sliced as finely as possible
- 150g (5 ½ oz) butter
- 300g ( 11oz) caster sugar
Instructions
- Let the pastry rest for about 2 hours in the refrigerator
- Preheat the oven to 180C/160Fan/350F/Gas 4
- Grease a round pastry tin with a little butter before laying the pastry in
- Prick the pastry with a fork before putting in the oven for 15 minutes
- Take out of the oven.
- Lay the apple slices starting from the outside, overlapping each other by about half
- Continue in ever decreasing circles until you reach the centre
- Put small knobs of butter all over the tart and sprinkle with 2/3 of the sugar
- Place in the oven for 30 minutes. Check the base is cooked
- Sprinkle the rest of the sugar over the tart, or you can glaze it with a spoonful of honey
- Return to the oven for another 15 minutes
- Take out and allow to cool for about 10 minutes
- Serve at room temperature with a dollop of cream on the side
Notes
- In Normandy, where I was born, we often splash a little Calvados over the tart. How delicious is that!
