Leave to cool.

Stage 9 - 5 min.

Finish by arranging the tatin-style apple pieces on top of the cream.

Your tart is ready.
Remarks
If you don't have diplomat cream, confectioner's custard (crème pâtissière, or french pastry cream) will do instead, but won't be as smooth and creamy.
Keeping: 2 days at most in the fridge.
