Serves 6 Ingredients Pastry: 225g self-raising flour 110g caster sugar 110g butter 1 egg
150g marzipan
4 bramley apples 100g caster sugar 50g toasted almonds Meringue: 4 egg whites 225 caster sugar
Method: Mix flour and sugar together before rubbing in the butter. Mix in the egg until binded. (You may have to add a little water to help it.) Rest for 20 mins in the fridge. Grease a 23cm tart case with butter and dust with flour. Roll out pastry and line the case. Prick the base of the tart and put in fridge for 20 mins. Line with tin foil and bake for 15 mins at 180C. When cooked leave to cool for 15 mins. Peel, core and slice apples into small pieces. Cook over medium heat with the 100g sugar for 10 minutes until soft. Purée the apples with a food processor. Roll out the marzipan until it is big enough to cover the base of the pastry case. Place the marzipan on the bottom of the case followed by the apple mixture. For the meringue, whisk the egg whites with half the remaining sugar to form firm peaks. Fold in the remainder of the sugar thoroughly. Pipe the meringue to about 5cm in height and sprinkle on the flaked almonds and place in oven at 220C for 10 minutes until it is golden brown. |
