Fig & Apple Tart
- 5 ripe figs, peeled and sliced thickly
- 2 granny smith apples, cored and sliced
- 120 g sugar, plus 1 tablespoon if needed
- 2 tablespoons butter
- pastry dough
- 150 g plain flour
- 65 g butter
- 5 tablespoons water
- Place the flour on a clean workbench in a pile.
- Make a well in the centre.
- Melt the butter and combine with the water.
- Pour the butter/water into the well and whisk in the flour a bit at a time with a fork or butter knife, until all the flour is combined.
- Knead into a pastry dough and allow to rest for 1 hour.
- In a round pie dish, place some butter, then sprinkle with some of the sugar.
- Thickly slice the figs and apples. Layer the figs, cut side down, in the pie plate.
- Sprinkle with half the remaining sugar.
- Layer the apple over that, and sprinkle with the remaining sugar.
- Roll the pastry out into a rough circle about the size of your pie dish (or slightly bigger). Lay over the fruit, pressing in on the edges.
- Bake at 240C for 30 minutes.
- Cool slightly out of the oven, then turn onto a plate (or other heat resistant flat dish), and grill for 10 minutes or until the sugar caramelises.
- Serve with cream or ice-cream.
