Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 10 min.

The pastry case

Roll out 1 kg 50 g Shortcrust pastry (pâte brisée) to 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick and line a 10-inch (26 cm) tin or ring. Leave the spare pastry overhanging around the edge, then sit the tin on a baking sheet and refrigerate until needed.

Stage 2 - 10 min.

Prepare a light caramel with 225 g caster sugar (follow these tips).

Stage 3 - 2 min.

When the caramel has cooled slightly (2 or 3 minutes off the heat), add 240 g cream and mix well.

Set aside.

Stage 4 - 2 min.

The filling mixture

Put 6 Eggs and 240 g brown sugar in a bowl and mix well with a whisk.

Stage 5 - 1 min.

Add the caramel and mix again.

Stage 6 - 1 min.

Lastly, add 900 g Stewed apple (compote) and mix again.

Your caramel-apple custard is ready, so set aside.

Stage 7 - 20 min.

The apples

Peel 2 kgs 400 g apples and cut lengthways into segments.

Melt 150 g butter in a large frying pan on high heat, then add 150 g brown sugar.

When the sugar begins to caramelize, add the apple pieces.

Stage 8 - 10 min.

Cook until starting to colour...

Stage 9 - 2 min.

...then tip out onto a baking sheet and leave to cool.

Stage 10 - 3 min.

Assembling the tart

Preheat the oven to 410°F (210°C).

Trim off the spare pastry around the edge of the tart case.

Stage 11 - 4 min.

Arrange the apple segments evenly in the tart case. They should not be too crowded.

Stage 12 - 2 min.

Pour the caramel-apple custard around the apples.

Stage 13 - 40 min.

Bake for 30 to 40 minutes.

Stage 14

Leave to cool in the tin on a wire rack.

Remarks

It is best to use a good brown cane sugar, but a beet-based sugar will work instead.

You can use sweetcrust pastry (pâte sablée) instead of the shortcrust.

Keeping

1 or 2 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
