Steps

  • Preheat the oven to 200°C.
  • Roll the puff pastry to a thickness of 3mm and cut a 25cm diameter circle.
  • Crimp the edges, lay onto a baking tray, and chill for 10 minutes.
  • Spread the apple compote over the pastry, leaving a 1cm border.
  • Slice the apples thinly and arrange them in an overlapping fan pattern over the compote.
  • Sprinkle with caster sugar, dot with butter, and brush the border with egg yolk.
  • Bake for 30 minutes until the edges are golden-brown and risen.
  • Whisk the cream, icing sugar, and vanilla seeds until soft peaks form.
  • Warm the calvados in a pan, ignite it, and pour over the tart before serving with cream.
