Step by step recipe

Stage 1

Prepare 6 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 2 apples and cut into small dice.

Stage 3 - 2 min.

Melt 30 g butter in a frying pan on high heat, then add 50 g 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 200 g 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.
