Composition of this Apple tart

It is a very easy dessert to make at home and you can make the different preparations yourself or buy them directly in your supermarket.

With a crispy puff pastry base, applesauce filling and a few slices of seasonal apples.

Puff pastry

The puff pastry is like you feel it, if you are comfortable then I encourage you to make the recipe, moreover, it freezes easily but especially the homemade flavor is incomparable to the store-bought puff pastry.

Or if you wish, as in the traditional apple tart recipe, you can make a simple sweet shortcrust pastry instead.

Applesauce

To be honest, I used ready-made applesauce from the store, the one my children had and without added sugar. But the recipe for homemade compote is so simple that I can't encourage you to make it yourself.

The apples are simply cooked in a saucepan with or without added sugar, a bit of lemon juice for preservation and of course a bit of cinnamon to flavor it.

Apples

And to finish the apple filling, thinly sliced apples of the variety of your choices, such as golden, pink gala, or granny smith.

They must be ripe with juicy and sweet flesh perfect in desserts with cooking. This tart can be made with other fresh fruits such as strawberries, pears, apricot etc. if you like them cooked.

You will find the quantities and complete instructions in the recipe card at the end of the page.

Tip: For a nice-looking tart, you can arrange your apples in a row, alternating the direction of the apples each time.

3 - Baking

1. Preheat oven to 357°F / 180°C.

Tip: The tart is done when the edges are golden brown and crisp and the apples are melting.

Tip for a glossy tart
