This is great recipe for using up those apples that are in abundance this time of year. You can use either eating apples or as I did cookers in this recipe & added extra sugar on top.
Its something a little different from the traditional apple tart, it has a cake/dough mixture underneath & apples sliced on top of the base.
French Apple Tart
Ingredients
6oz Self Raising Flour
3 tbsp sugar
grated lemon or orange zest
5 oz margarine
2 egg yolks
1/2 tbsp milk or water
1 lb eating apples ( can use pears or plums either)
Method
Rub butter into dry ingredients, to resemble breadcrumbs
Make well in centre, break in egg yolks and zest of orange
Add 1 tbsp milk, mix with fork
Spoon into dish & flatten, chill for 15mins.
Core & slice apples. Fan apples over the cake mix
Spinkle with sugar, Bake in pre-heated oven at 180C, until pale golden brown & fruit soft.
Cook for approx 35 -40min.
Serve warm with cream or custard & large cup of tea!
(PS. I picked up the cute Tea towel in Cath Kidston in Kildare Village for €4 bargain)
Happy Baking,

A nice change from the normal.
Love the tea towel!
Thanks Brownieville Girl, yes its really tasty defo recommend it, with cream or custard. x
Really like this recipe Vicky! – can I use it next week for a group of men I’m doing a workshop with? – I think not having to make pastry would really appeal to them!
oh of course sarah- don’t even know where my sister picked it up a few years ago, its lovely & really simple. Enjoy the workshop.x
Just thought maybe that’s very cheeky – sorry….
I must give that a shout, looks yum!
For a slice of apple tart & a cuppa Barrys tea, over skype

Made this with the group last week Vick and it was gorgeous – clean plates all round. Thanks!
