Stage 2 - ⌛ 3 min.

Start the mixer and knead until smooth.

Stop the mixer and leave the mixture in.

Stage 3 - ⌛ 15 min.

Pour the apples into the mixer and run for a minute or two until well blended.

Stage 5 - ⌛ 3 min.

Preheat oven to 200°C (390°F).

Line a baking dish with buttered baking paper.

Stage 6 - ⌛ 3 min.

... and bake for about 45 minutes.

Stage 8 - ⌛ 30 min.

Let cool, or at least lukewarm...

Stage 9

... before unmolding.

Enjoy warm or cold, on its own or with a little custard or a scoop of vanilla ice cream, or both!

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.

Keeping: Several days in the fridge, protected by cling film.
