Easy Apple Tart

April 29, 2014 By A Spoonful of Sugar - 6 Comments

Easy Apple Tart Recipe

If you are after a quick dessert or afternoon tea treat, you can’t go past this easy apple tart. Apples are in season at the moment and are cheap and plentiful. This apple tart is easy to make using ready made shortcrust pastry sheets. It is filled with an almond frangipane and topped with thinly sliced apples. We served it sprinkled with icing sugar with a dollop of cream. Yummm…

We love autumn – it is the perfect weather to enjoy tarts, pies, and other baked desserts.  We love using our doiley cake server (Pelle À Tarte) that we bought in France last year.

      In Australia, you can buy frozen sheets of pastry to line your pie dish. Alternatively you can use your own method of making pastry. I am pretty sure when I lived in the USA you could buy ready made pastry or a pie shell?
