Step by step recipe


Stage 1
Little apple and verbena tarts
Prepare 6 tart cases.

Note: the ones you can see in the photo were made in fluted moulds, but this is not essential.

Stage 2 - 8 min.
Little apple and verbena tarts
Peel 2 apples and cut into small dice.

Stage 3 - 2 min.
Little apple and verbena tarts
Melt 30 g butter in a frying pan on high heat, then add 50 g caster sugar and the diced apples.

Stage 4 - 5 min.
Little apple and verbena tarts
Caramelise the apples, taking care not to mash the apple dice as you stir, which can easily happen with this size.

Leave to cool.

Stage 5 - 30 min.
Little apple and verbena tarts
Prepare 200 g diplomat cream, leaving the verbena to infuse in the milk (this can be made well in advance).

Stage 6 - 6 min.
Little apple and verbena tarts
Put a generous layer of verbena diplomat cream in each tart case.

Stage 7 - 8 min.
Little apple and verbena tarts
Cover with diced caramelised apple.

Stage 8
Little apple and verbena tarts
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.
Keeping: Should be eaten the same day.
