    Ruth Andre's Notes:

    I have been making this tart for the past 35 - 40 years and it is always a hit because of the twist in flavour. It may be served with whipped cream or ice cream.

Serves 6-8 people

  1. Make the Pastry case but combining the quarter pound butter and half pound flour until they resemble breadcrumbs. Add salt and enough water to form a dough. Line a pie dish with the pastry.

  2. Peel, core and thickly slice the apples, then toss them in the orange juice and put into the pastry case.

  4. Place1/4 pound golden/brown sugar and flour into a mixing bowl with the orange zest and add the butter. Using a knife, cut it through into the dry ingredients until evenly distributed.

  5. Cover the apples with this topping and bake the tart on the center shelf of a hot oven 425 degrees F for ten minutes, then reduce the heat to 350 degrees F for a further thirty minutes until golden. Serve hot.

The oven temperature for the first 10 minutes is not correct. It should read 425 degrees F and the next 30 minutes as 350 degrees F.
