This apple tart with pastry cream produces a somewhat more compact tart but nevertheless very pleasant

Ingredients for 6 servings

500 g shortcrust pastry
3 large peeled, cored apples with lemon juice, cut in half and finely sliced.
1/4 liter pastry cream
a splash of calvados (optional)
2 tablespoons apple or apricot jelly

Step-by-step directions

1- Roll out your pastry and place it on your tart pan (non-stick or flexipan), then prick it with a fork and put it in the fridge for 15 minutes.

2- Preheat your oven to 180°C (gas mark 6).

3- Using a little calvados (optional) dilute your cold pastry cream then spread it on the bottom of your tart.

4- Arrange your apple slices in decreasing circles then put it in the oven for 30 minutes.

5- Meanwhile melt your apple or apricot jelly.

6- Then when it comes out of the oven use a brush to spread this warm jelly over the tart (glaze) which will give it a beautiful shine.
Besides you can do the same with thin slices of pears or why not melon not too ripe
