Step by step recipe

• 1: Prepare 6 tart cases.
  Note: the ones you can see in the photo were made in fluted moulds, but this is not essential.
• 2: Peel 2 apples and cut into small dice.
• 3: Melt 30 g butter in a frying pan on high heat, then add 50 g caster sugar and the diced apples.
• 4: Caramelise the apples, taking care not to mash the apple dice as you stir, which can easily happen with this size.
  Leave to cool.
• 5: Prepare 200 g Diplomat cream, leaving the verbena to infuse in the milk (this can be made well in advance).
• 6: Put a generous layer of verbena diplomat cream in each tart case.
• 7: Cover with diced caramelised apple.
• 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.
