Directions
Preparation:45min › Cook:20min › Ready in:1hour5min
- Use a 23cm cake tin (not one with a loose base) or a pie plate. Sift flour into a large bowl and rub in butter and cheese until mixture resembles breadcrumbs. Sprinkle with 2 tbsp cold water and mix in, using a round-bladed knife, to form a soft dough. Gather into a smooth ball. Wrap in cling film and chill for 30 minutes.
- Preheat oven to 200 degrees C. Peel and thickly slice the apples. Place sugar and lemon juice in a medium pan and heat, stirring, until sugar dissolves. Add apples; cover and cook over a low heat for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the fruit is just softening but is not breaking up.
- With a slotted spoon, transfer apples to the tin, slightly over-lapping the slices. Stir the sultanas, mixed spice and zest into the juice in the pan; simmer for 2–3 minutes. Pour mixture over the apples and set aside to cool slightly.
- Roll out the dough on a lightly floured work surface to a round about 25 cm in diameter. Place over the apple filling and tuck the edges down inside the tin. Bake for 20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
- Leave the tart to cool in the tin for 5–10 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a plate. Combine the yoghurt, honey and lemon rind and serve with slices of the warm tart.
Try this, too…
If you're busy, make the pastry and the filling a day ahead. Assemble tart and bake just before serving. * Instead of lemon rind, use grated orange rind in the fruit filling and yogurt accompaniment. * For a Pear and Walnut Tart, use firm, ripe pears instead of apples. Add 30 g chopped pecans or walnuts with sultanas and lemon rind.
