Bonnevaux apple tart
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...

Stage 4 - 1 hour
Gather the dough into a ball, then shape into a flat "cake" and wrap with plastic film.

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.
