Apple and almond tartIngredients:

1 x 12” tart ring lined with un-cooked sweet pastry

For the frangipane:

250g butter
250g sugar
250g ground almonds
4 x whole eggs

For the purée:

1 x vanilla pod
2 x Bramley apples, peeled, cored and diced
Sugar
Big handful of raisins
6 x Cox’s apples, peeled, cored and halved lengthways

Method:

  1. To make the frangipane – beat or cream the butter and sugar until
    the sugar has dissolved and the butter is pale. Turn the mixer’s speed
    down and add the ground almonds. Beat until just incorporated then add
    the eggs one at a time so the mix doesn’t split. Chill until ready to
    use.
  2. To make the purée – Cook the vanilla pod with the Bramley apples and
    a little water over a low heat until puréed. Add a little sugar to
    taste.
  3. To assemble the tart – Spoon the apple purée over the base of the
    uncooked tart shell, scatter over a handful of raisins. Fill the tart and bake at 200ºC until golden.
