Remarks
You really need to line the bottom of the dish with baking paper, as the pastry sticks a lot after baking.
To balance out the very sweet side of the pastry, use slightly tart apples such as Reinette if possible.

European glass
A little dessert that's rather long to make, but which will always impress your guests. Layered in a glass: a jellied red fruit coulis, a layer of pineapple charlotte cream, a layer of kiwi coulis, topped with a peeled clementine segment. It's "european" because it resembles the italian flag, and in another version with apricot instead raspberries, the irish flag (a country so dear to me). August 15th 2010247 K5 2 hours 30 min.
