Cold and creamy

I wanted to make a quick and simple tart for our dessert tonight. I had a circle of flaky pastry, that you buy already laying on the baking paper, so it was just a case of unrolling it into a baking sheet and filling it with some of the apples I’d recently cut up and frozen.

I asked Brian to do that, as he arranged them far neater than me. First though we sprinkled on some chopped noisettes, (hazelnuts), as this helps soak up any juice, and you avoid a soggy bottom. Then I gave him some blackberry jam, and some plum and apple jam to spread over the top, I was using up the jar ends. He then just rolled the sides over to hold in all the juicy fruit.

A quick egg wash, then ready to be cooked for about 30-35 minutes. A delicious simple dessert served with a full-fat, cold and creamy creme fraiche.
