French Apple Tart | Tarte Fine aux Pommes

 

This is so straightforward to make, but looks and tastes great.

Roll out a round puff pastry onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, (or use a 260g block of puff pastry rolled out to around 30cm (use a cake pan as a guide) . Prick the bottom with a fork and then brush with 2 tbsp fruit jelly or jam, melted or thinned out with water (I like to use apricot or apple). Place in the fridge.

Peel and core 4-5 apples and slice very thinly. Lay them on the chilled pastry in overlapping concentric circles, starting from the outside, and leaving a small rim.

Melt 2 tbsp of butter and brush onto the apples and pastry rim. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp sugar.

Bake in a 200c oven for 25-35 minutes, until the the apples become golden.

Remove from the oven, brush with 2tbsp fruit jelly or jam, melted or thinned out with a little water.
