Categories: Cake Tart
Yield: 1 Servings

2		To 3 granny smith or golden delicious apples
1	tb	Caster sugar
15	g	Butter, melted

======================================================= ================== This simple tart is so easy to make and is one of the great classics. Firm ripe pears may be used the same way for a pear tart. ======================================================= ==================

Lay the sheet of pastry on a metal tray and, using a dinner plate or cake tin as a guide, cut a 25cm circle. If liked, thin strips of pastry can be cut, the edge brushed with water and the strips laid on to make a rim. Prick the base with a fork and chill for a further 15 mins.

Mix the egg white with the ground almonds and spread on base of pastry.

To fill the tart, peel, quarter and core the apples, cutting them in two then into thin slices.

Arrange the apple slices and place overlapping, the round side of the apple on top to make good pattern.

Dust with the sugar and brush with the melted butter. Bake in a preheated, 200 C oven for 30-35 mins or longer, until pastry is puffed and rich, golden apples are tender and the edges tinged with brown.

Serve still warm, with or without cream softly whipped.
