• Puff pastry
• 4 apples
• 50g caster sugar
• 50g butter
• Lemon juice

1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
2. Peel all the apples, cut each one in half, remove the cores, and then coat them with lemon juice.
3. Heat the sugar and butter in a pan until melted and hot.
4. Add the apple pieces, rounded side down, and add a handful of blackberries.
5. Roll out the pastry until it is about ½ cm thick. Cut a circle large enough to cover the fruit, place it over the apples, and tuck in the edges.
6. Bake in the oven for about ½ hour, until golden and hot.
7. Remove from the oven and turn it out by placing a plate over the pan – firmly and confidently!! Flip the whole thing over and carefully remove the pan!
8. Voilà – a French-style apple tart. Not simple, but delicious. Mmm!
9. TIP: Try other fruit combinations too: apricots, apple and raspberries, plums, rhubarb...
