Stage 2 - 3 min.

Stop the mixer and leave the mixture in.

Stage 3 - 15 min.

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.
