Step by step recipe

Stage 1 - 15 min.

Peel 4 apples and cut into sticks.

You can quarter them and cut into smaller pieces if you prefer.

Stage 2 - 5 min.

Melt 50 g butter in a large frying pan on high heat. When melted, add 50 g caster sugar.

Mix and leave the sugar to melt.

Stage 3 - 8 min.

Add the apples, mix well to coat them in the butter-sugar mixture, then leave to cook just until they are still slightly firm, rather than soft.

Stage 4 - 2 min.

Pour in 4 tablespoons Calvados (apple liqueur) and mix well.

Stage 5 - 3 min.

Drain the apples, spread on a baking sheet and leave to cool.

Stage 6 - 10 min.

Roll out 250 g sweet pastry and line a 7 inch (18 cm) tart tin or ring.

Leave the pastry overhanging the edge and put to wait in the fridge for 15 minutes.

Stage 7 - 5 min.

Meanwhile, prepare the tarte normande filling by whisking together 2 eggs, 10 g vanilla sugar, 30 g caster sugar, 200 ml liquid cream, and 2 tablespoons Calvados (apple liqueur) in a bowl.

Preheat the oven to 360°F (180°C).

Stage 8 - 3 min.

Take the pastry case out of the fridge and trim off the excess (we only do this once the pastry is fully cold so it will shrink less later).

Stage 9 - 15 min.

Bake the pastry case blind for about 15 minutes.

Stage 10 - 2 min.

Take it out of the oven and fill with the apple sticks.

Stage 11 - 2 min.

Pour the filling over.

Stage 12 - 20 min.

Remove the tart ring if you are using one, then return the tart to the oven for about 20 minutes.

Stage 13

When the tart has cooled, finish with a dusting of icing sugar.

Remarks

For an extra flavour boost, lightly caramelize the apples at stage 3 and flambé the Calvados at rstep=4.

Keeping: 1 or 2 days in the fridge, covered with plastic film.
