Method

  • step 1

    Heat oven to 220C/fan 200C/gas 7. Roll out the pastry and trim to a round about 35cm across. Transfer to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

  • step 2

    Peel, core and thinly slice the apples and toss in the lemon juice. Spread over the pastry to within 2cm of the edges. Curl up the edges slightly to stop the juices running off.

  • step 3

    Dot the top with the butter and sprinkle with vanilla and caster sugar. Bake for 15-20 mins until the apples are tender and the pastry crisp.

  • step 4

    Warm the conserve and brush over the apples and pastry edge. Serve hot with vanilla ice cream or crème fraîche.

Loved this super easy recipe to help to use a glut of windfall apples. It looks pretty good for not much fuss . Nice relaxed dish for mid-week meal.

Loved it. Cooked at 180 the second time as the crust burnt the first time. That was perfect and no soggy bottom.

If you don’t have apricot jam, I replaced it with lemon curd. Really compliments the apples.

question

if you freeze it, at what point and how do you reheat it?

Hi, thanks for your question. Yes this can be frozen once cooked and cooled. Defrost it at room temperature for about 2 hours then reheat on a preheated baking sheet in the oven at 220C/fan 200C/gas 7 for about 5-10 mins until heated through. We hope this helps. Best wishes, BBC Good Food Team.
