Apple & blueberry tart (2)

Simplicity itself, this recipe literally involves just a pastry case and fruits!

Serves 6-8

For the pastry:

180g plain flour
80g butter
20g caster sugar
3 TBSP water
1-2 TBSP sesame seeds

For the filling:
1 kg cooking apples, peeled, cored and diced
Juice of 1 lemon (to sprinkle on top of apples so they don't get brown)
1 punnet of blueberries
2 TBSP sliced almonds
3-4 TBSP demarara sugar + some more for sprinkling
1 tsp cinnamon

1. To make the pastry, mix the flour and butter with your fingertips until it resembles breadcrumbs. Add the sugar and knead a little. Add 2 TBSP and knead more to make a soft dough. You may need to add the 3rd tablespoon of water. Roll out onto a floured surface. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and roll a little more. Place the pastry into a greased and floured tart dish.

2. Bake blind with baking beans for 10-15 min, then without the beans for another 5 minutes.

3. Place the apples with a little water into a saucepan and heat up. Add the sugar and cinnamon and cook until the apples are cooked.

4. Place the cooked apples into the baked pastry case. Sprinkle with blueberries and almonds, then with demarara sugar.
5. Return to the oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the blueberries have started to 'explode'.

Enjoy!
