Recipe: Apple Tart

I had a glut of apples that were a bit past their best recently and rather than opting for the usual apple crumble I decided to do something slightly different and make an apple tart. I love pastry so it was a no brainer to make a tart. This recipe I adapted from BBC Good Food is super quick and easy, so you can whip it up in no time if you have guests coming over and it’s delicious with a spot of afternoon tea and some cream. As autumn is nearly upon us it’ll also be perfect with apples coming into season.
