Elevate your weekend feast with this special treat for friends.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cinnamon quill
  • 435g pkt vanilla bean sweet shortcrust pastry (see note) or 3 sheets frozen shortcrust pastry, thawed
  • 4 green apples, peeled, chopped
  • 75g caster sugar
  • 80g unsalted butter
  • 75g mixed berries
  • 53.60 gm golden syrup
  • 120g breadcrumbs
  • 110g brown sugar
  • Malted milk ice cream (see related recipe), to serve
Instructions:
  • Roll out the pastry to a 5mm thickness, then use it to line six 10cm loose-bottomed tart pans, trimming any excess dough. Chill the lined tart pans.
  • Preheat the oven to 180°C. In a pan over medium-low heat, combine apple, caster sugar, cinnamon, 1 tablespoon of butter, and 2 tablespoons of water. Cook and stir occasionally for 8-10 minutes until the fruit softens. Add in the berries and then set aside.
  • Prepare the pastry cases by lining them with baking paper and filling them with pastry weights or uncooked rice. Bake for 8 minutes, then remove the paper and weights and continue baking for another 2-3 minutes until they turn golden and dry.
  • While you wait, gently melt golden syrup and the rest of the butter in a saucepan. In another bowl, combine crumbs and brown sugar. Pour in the melted butter mixture and stir well. Keep aside.
  • Place a generous amount of apple filling into each tart shell, sprinkle with a layer of flavorful crumbs, and bake for approximately 20 minutes, or until beautifully golden and bubbling. Enjoy these delicious tarts warm with a scoop of ice cream on the side.
