Step-by-step recipe

check things off as you go

  1. Preheat the oven

    Turn the oven on to 180 °C (thermostat 6). Set the rack in the middle of the oven.

  2. Peel the apples

    Peel the 4 apples, remove the cores and cut them into small cubes. Put them in a bowl.

  3. Make the applesauce

    Add 1 tbsp of sugar and half of the cinnamon to the apples. Mix well. Spread the mixture in the tart pan.

    Tip · For a smoother applesauce, lightly mash the apples with a fork before spreading them.

  4. Roll out the pie crust

    Unroll the pie crust over the tart pan, letting a little hang over the edge. Prick the bottom with a fork so it doesn't puff up.

  5. Add the remaining apples

    Spread the remaining cut apples over the crust, pressing them in lightly. Sprinkle with the rest of the sugar and cinnamon.

  6. Make the custard

    Crack the egg into a bowl and beat it lightly with a fork. Add the melted butter and mix well.

  7. Add the custard to the tart

    Spread the custard over the apples, spreading it evenly. Bake at 180 °C for 30 minutes.

    Tip · Check if it's done by poking the tip of a knife into the tart: it should come out dry.

  8. Bake the tart

    Let it bake for 30 minutes at 180 °C until the crust is golden and the custard is set.
