This delicious tart has rum soaked sultanas and dates caramelized with apples, quince, lemon zest, cinnamon and vanilla, all baked into a short pastry case.

My mother used to make this all the time, usually to go with Sunday dinner. I was hooked. Haven't had it in ages and I was wanting to bake something special for a special someone so I asked mum for the recipe. Tried it out today, and it's just as I remember. The thing that makes it for me is the frangipane. Hope you like it as much as I do.

This is a great recipe that includes instructions for both the scratch making of the pastry and also the guidance for a wonderful sweet apple filling.

A simple twist on a lemon meringue pie - just made with cooked apples. Let the egg whites get to room temperature in a bowl before whisking to make better meringue.

This delectable tart is turned out upside-down to serve and resembles the French tarte tatin. The shortcrust pastry is made with reduced-fat soft cheese and butter and there is a lot of juicy fruit filling.

This is my favourite apple tart; buttery, rich and lemony- like a cross between crispy apple pie and Tarte Citron It is very simple and cheap to make and the great thing is, you can adjust the ingredients to suit your taste. It was named the 1x6 pie (1 apple, 1 lemon, 1 egg, 1 knob butter, 1 tablespoon of sugar, 1 pastry sheet) but I like more filling. The proportions of apples to eggs and butter should be preserved, otherwise the filling won't set. Buy the best butter puff pastry you can afford.

This is a beautiful apple and custard pie that has a few steps including the apple filling, buttermilk custard and crumble topping; but it is worth the effort.

This is a beautiful apple dessert with a pie shell containing a cottage cheese layer then an apple layer and finally topped with a streusel. Perfect served hot with cream or ice cream.
