Ingredients
- 2 apples
- 50 g butter or plant based alternative
- 1 tbsp organic brown sugar
- 1 tbsp organic maple syrup
- 1 tsp organic vanilla extract
- 1 tsp organic plain flour
- 1 large sheet of ready rolled puff pastry
- 50 g organic pecans
Instructions
- Peel 2 apples, slice into quarters, removed the core then finely slice.
- Place the apples in a frying pan with the butter, sugar and maple syrup.
- Cook on a medium heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring gently so that the apples don’t break up.
- Add the vanilla extract and flour and cook for a further 2-3 minutes, again stirring gently.
- Set aside and let cool.
- Now place the pecans in a frying pan and gently toast until they become golden.
- Allow to cool, then roughly chop.
- Next, take the sheet of pastry and lay on a piece of baking paper.
- Place a plate roughly the same size as the pastry on top and cut around to create a circle.
- Take a sharp knife and lightly cut a smaller circle about 1cm from the edge. Don’t cut right through the pastry, just make an indent.
- Now neatly lay the cooled apples on top of the pastry.
- Bake at 200c for 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
- Scatter the chopped pecans on top and serve warm or allow to cool.

This tart was much easier to make than I expected. I wouldn’t have had time to make my own pastry so using pre-made was perfect for me. It turned out perfectly!
