Stage 1 - 1 hour
Tatin apple diplomat tart : Stage 1
Roll out 10.6 oz sweetcrust pastry (pâte sablée) and line a 9" (22 cm) square tin or mould, then bake blind.



Set aside.

Stage 2 - 10 min.

Peel 2 lb + 3.2 oz apple, cut into quarters and remove the core.

Stage 3 - 5 min.
Tatin apple diplomat tart : Stage 3
Preheat the oven to 390°F (200°C).

Choose a large non-stick pan that can go in the oven. Put on medium heat and melt 3.6 oz butter, then add 3.5 oz caster sugar.

Leave until well mixed, stirring a little if necessary.

Stage 4 - 3 min.

Lay a sheet of cooking parchment on the worktop. Fish the burning-hot apple pieces out of the pan one by one (use 2 forks or tongs) and lay out on the paper.

Leave to cool.

Stage 9 - 5 min.

Put a layer of diplomat cream in the bottom of the tart case (a forcing bag is ideal for this).

Stage 10 - 10 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.
