Lemon and grated apple tart
You'll be amazed by the flavour of this tart, it's so distinctive and well-balanced.
The apples are grated, rather than sliced, to mix well with the lemon juice and zest. The result is an exceptional tart (yes, really!).

Remarks
For a more rustic touch, leave the apples unpeeled. Just rinse them well, then grate with the skins on. You can use shortcrust pastry instead of sweetcrust.
The combination of apples and lemon tends to give off quite a lot of juice so, if you are using a dessert ring, do watch out for this leaking onto the baking sheet.
