Filling
This delicious dessert is a twist on traditional french apple tart but we have given it a bit more of an English twist. The tart has a soft pie like pastry, and the custard layer is thicker than a traditional french apple tart. The apples are sweet and are precooked in honey to give them a subtle English summer flavouring.
The tart is finished in the traditional way with a apricot jam glaze, and we recommend you serve the apple tart with a dollop of whipped cream, single pour cream or a large scoop of vanilla ice-cream.
This fruit tart is suitable to be served all year round, we would serve it warm in the winter, and cold in the summer, this tart, makes the perfect dessert for a dinner party as it looks beautiful and can be made ahead of time, serve it with ice-cream, whipped cream or pouring cream.
This dessert is perfect for a traditional English themed dinner party, it would go well with a lamb main course, so would make the ideal dessert for a family Easter meal or dinner with friends
Without a doubt the extra thick layer of custard, makes this dessert a real winner, but the start ingredient has to be the addition of honey to caramelise the apples, making this apple tart extra special
