Step-by-step directions
1 Line a high-sided tart pan with the pastry, prick it with a fork, and place it in the fridge.
2 Two hours before, make a light syrup with sugar and water, add the raisins. If you're making this tart just for adults, you can drain them and let them soak in rum to plump up. Let them cool in the syrup until plump, then drain them.
3 Peel and cut the apples into eight wedges and brown them in a pan with the butter, sugar, and cinnamon, doing this in batches if needed. Add the raisins at the end of browning, let cool, and spread the mixture into your pastry shell.
4 Bake until the pastry is completely cooked. Serve warm, you can add a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
Chef Patrick's Comment
A simple recipe. You might prefer to blind-bake the pastry, spread a layer of cinnamon-spiced apple compote on the base, then top with apples that have been sautéed and caramelized in half-salted butter and muscovado sugar, arranged in a crown and finished with a sprinkling of gingerbread crumbs.
