(Apple tart - Our recipe)

Time: preparation: 15 minutes plus time for ........ short pastry ........ cooking: about 30 minutes Short pastry (follow our instructions) 1 dry biscuit, crumbled 4 tablespoons jam 2 or 3 apples (renetta or golden delicious) Cinnamon Unsalted butter Medium difficulty

  Spoon measures are American spoons, that is standard cook's measuring spoons used in USA.
  The best plan is to regard 2 American teaspoons or tablespoons as 1 English teaspoon or tablespoon (eating spoons)

Prepare short pastry following our instructions. You have to double the doses for making this cake.
Preheat oven to 180°C (350°F). Butter a 27,5 cm (11in) round baking tin. Line it with
the pastry (bottom and sides). Prick the pastry with a fork and spoon the jam; you should choose a jam that is not too sweet (plum jam is the best thing). Sprinkle the dry biscuit
and fill up with the apples, peeled and sliced. Arrange apple slices in many circles. If you want, you can put little pieces of butter over the apples. Sprinkle with cinnamon.
Bake for about 30 minutes; be careful that your tart doesn't become too coloured.
Short pastry must be soft.

What's the right wine?
Our suggestion is: serve a dessert wine or a bit of orange-flavoured liqueur (arancino) after eating the tart.
