Makes 4
Ingredients
- 250 g puff pastry
- 2 large Bramley apples
- 396 g tin instant custard
- 3 rounded tsp golden caster sugar
Method
-
1
Preheat the oven to 200°C, fan 180°C, gas 6. Line a baking tray with baking paper.
-
2
Roll out the pastry then use a saucer about 18cm in diameter as a guide for you to cut out two circles of pastry, then re-roll the trimmings and cut out two more circles.
-
3
Score a smaller circle about 1cm in from the edge of the pastry circles to help the outside to rise and the inside to stay flat.
-
4
Peel the apples, core and finely slice. Spread a little custard over the middle of each pastry circle, saving some for serving, and then top with the apple slices in a circle – cram them in tightly. Sprinkle the sugar over the top.
-
5
Bake for 15 minutes – check the tarts halfway through and, if the apples are turning brown, lower the oven to 180°C, fan 160°C, gas 4.

Heat the remaining custard in a pan and serve with the tarts.
