Step by step recipe

Stage 1

Prepare 12 tart cases.

Note: the ones you can see in the photo were made in fluted moulds, but this is not essential.

Stage 2 - 8 min.

Peel 4 apples and cut into small dice.

Stage 3 - 2 min.

Melt 61.92 ml butter in a frying pan on high heat, then add 100 ml caster sugar and the diced apples.

Stage 4 - 5 min.

Caramelise the apples, taking care not to mash the apple dice as you stir, which can easily happen with this size.

Leave to cool.

Stage 5 - 30 min.

Prepare Diplomat cream, leaving the verbena to infuse in the milk (this can be made well in advance).

Stage 6 - 6 min.

Put a generous layer of verbena diplomat cream in each tart case.

Stage 7 - 8 min.

Cover with diced caramelised apple.

Stage 8

Your tarts are ready. Garnish with a sprig of verbena.

Remarks

You can make a different version with pears. Cooked in maple syrup, they work really well.

If you don't fancy making the diplomat cream, use confectioner's custard or chantilly cream instead.

Keeping

Should be eaten the same day.

Passion fruit jellies

Usually to make fruit jellies or (fruit "paste"), it's like jam but you need to cook fruit pulp and sugar much longer. Unfortunately, this long cooking is bad for both vitamins and flavour. In this recipe we use a special jam gelling agent, to reduce cooking time as much as possible .
