This is without doubt the easiest apple tart you can make: a simple pastry case (a sweetened sort of shortcrust pastry without egg) and apples - that's all!

It's the tart my grandmother Jeanne made when I was a boy (a long time ago, as you can probably gather) and my father's favourite dessert.In short, a genuine family recipe that is dear to my heart...

Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - ⌛ 5 min.

Prepare the pastry case

Put into a food-mixer bowl: 250 g flour, 125 g butter, ½ teaspoon fine (or table) salt and 30 g caster sugar.

Stage 2 - ⌛ 5 min.

Start beating and continue until evenly mixed and "short" (a light crumby texture).

Stage 3 - ⌛ 2 min.

Leave the beater running and pour in a scant 100 ml milk, just enough to give a smooth dough (adjust the amount of milk as necessary - this might be a little more or less than indicated).

Stage 4 - ⌛ 1 hour

Gather the dough into a ball, then shape into a flat "cake" and wrap with plastic film.

Refrigerate for at least 1 hour or overnight.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 5 min.

Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C).

Roll out the pastry and line the tin or mould.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 10 min.

Peel1 kg apple, remove the core and slice thinnly.

Fill the pastry case, keeping the apple slices well packed together.

Stage 7 - ⌛ 40 min.

Bake for about 40 minutes, watching the pastry for colour.

Remarks

Of course you can glaze the tart, but this is not really in the rustic spirit of the original (for once). Instead, simply sprinkle a little caster sugar over the apples 10 minutes before the tart goes in the oven.

To really make this tart just like my grandmother made it, try to use the very early "harvest-time" apples, though they can be hard to come by these days.

Keeping: Several days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.

Source: Home made.

Macarons (the original French macaroons)

This recipe really is "of the moment": the success of these small, highly-coloured cakes, in an infinite variety of flavours, is impressive. It's a recipe which needs some care, in order to produce a result worthy of a professional pastrychef. No problem, I will guide you through the recipe, particularly the tricky parts. This variety of flavours means that I test many alternatives, so don't be surprised if in the pictures the colour of the macarons changes, I used the best photograph available...

Clarified butter

This is a way of melting butter to eliminate all the impurities. The clarified butter can then be heated without spoiling, and is more digestible. It is ideal for cooking at high temperatures where small black specks would spoil the appearance, or for emulsified sauces like béarnaise or mousseline.
