apple
This is for those instant moments in need of a dessert that looks elegant, delicate and pretty. This means no blind baking the tart beforehand, and instead all three parts of the tart go in together into the oven – the simplest method possible! The dough is eggless, made like a crumble, but not quite. The apples go in directly without poaching – the trick is to thinly slice them so they cook easily in the oven with the rest. (btw, you can replace with another fruit like pears, peaches, plums, mangoes even!). the sugar streusel on top is what makes this the best possible tart – sugary pieces that melts like a syrup on top that really completes the tart.
