Recipe: Apple Pastry Cream Tart

1 Roll out your pastry and place it on your tart pan (non-stick or flexipan), then prick it with a fork and put it in the fridge for 15 minutes.

2 Preheat your oven to 355°F (180°C) (gas mark 6).

3 Using a little calvados (optional) dilute your cold pastry cream then spread it on the bottom of your tart.

4 Arrange your apple slices in decreasing circles then put it in the oven for 30 minutes.

5 Meanwhile melt your apple or apricot jelly.

6 Then when it comes out of the oven use a brush to spread this warm jelly over the tart (glaze) which will give it a beautiful shine.
Besides you can do the same with thin slices of pears or why not melon not too ripe
