The weather is cooling down slowly and yesterday we took our first lunch in the garden with the smell of the Frangipani tree and Jasmine flowers. It is finally time for us to have more outdoor activities and picnics!
For the weekly famous Fiesta Friday, I prepared a very easy and delicious Tart that I call my Autumn Apple Tart (although it can easily be eaten in all four seasons). It’s made with a pâte sablée, apples, and a creamy egg custard.
Thank you, Angie from The Novice Gardener and thanks to our co-host’s this week Juju @ cookingwithauntjuju and Indira @ I’ll Cook, You Wash.
Serves: 8/10
Ingredients: (for the crust/pâte sablée)
- 300g of plain flour/all purpose flour
- 125g of soft butter
- 100g of icing sugar
- A pinch of salt
- 1 egg
- 25ml of milk
Procedure:
- In a bowl add the flour, the salt, and the icing sugar, (you can do the same procedure with a food processor).
- With your fingertips, start to mix the dry ingredients.
- Add the butter and mix until combined.
- Add the egg and mix until the dough becomes assembled.
- Slowly add the milk and mix until it holds a perfect ball (maybe more or less milk depending on the quality of the flour and the size of the egg).
- Wrap the dough in a plastic wrap and keep it in the fridge for 30 minutes.
- After 30 minutes remove the dough from the fridge.
- Grease a deep tart pan, (my tart pan is 30 cm and 4cm deep).
- Roll your dough between two big sheets of parchment paper.
- With a rolling pin, flatten the dough and make a circle shape, the size of your tart pan.
- Peel off the parchment paper from one side or your plastic wrap, flip the dough over the tart plate and slowly remove the other parchment paper.
- With a fork, poke the bottom of your dough and set aside.
- Preheat the oven to 180C degrees.
Ingredients: (for the filling)
- 5 apples (golden)
- 1 tablespoon of soft butter
- 50g of brown sugar
- 250ml of whipping cream
- 2 medium eggs
- 2 tablespoons of caster sugar
- A few roasted almond slice
- Icing sugar
Procedure:
- Wash and peel the apples.
- Cut out the seeds.
- Cut the apples into cubes.
- In a pan add the butter and the apple cubes.
- Pour the sugar and cook over a medium heat until the apples become half soft but not caramelized.
- Stir constantly with a wooden spoon.
- When the apples are ready, remove from the heat and pour the mixture into the bottom of your crust.
- In a bowl pour the whipping cream, the sugar, and the two eggs.
- Whisk gently all the ingredients.
- Pour the mixture on the top of the apples and bake for 45 minutes (more or less depending on the oven).
- Remove from the oven when the crust is golden.
- Sprinkle the entire surface with the sliced almonds.
- Dust generously with the icing sugar.
This is a very nice and rich apple tart, served warm with a flavorful tea on the side!
Bon Appétit!

I make a lot of pies and it is nice to have a tart once in awhile without all the dough – the apples really shine then. Then a custard/apple filling – Linda your tart makes me wish I had a slice with my morning coffee. Thanks for bringing this Fall dessert to Fiesta Friday 🙂
Thank you so much Judi. The custard is moist and not too much sweet, I would love to share with you a generous slice with a good coffee. Thank you for co-hosting this week FF! 🙂

What a perfect fall sweet treat. I love desserts with apple in them and your tart looks delicious.
Thank you very much Seana. Apples are so versatile – inside a cake, a brioche, tart and also with a fresh salad. I think apple is the most popular fruit and very yummy! 🙂

Really lovely combination. Like that you cook the apples slightly, which must give them that bit more flavour.
Thanks a lot Johnny, I really appreciate your comment. Cooking the apples before baking the tart makes a big difference! 🙂

Apologies for my belated comment dear Linda. This tart looks absolutely wonderful and perfect to share outdoors with smell of frangipani and jasmine in the air. So pleased you’re getting some cooler weather to enjoy! M.xx
Tu plaisantes Margot, we all have crazy life 😀 After a long hibernation, it’s magic to come back to the garden and taking care of my herbs and flowers. The tart was tasty and simple to prepare. Thanks a lot for your kind comment. Have a wonderful weekend my friend! xx
Over here Autumn cannot be accepted without apple cakes, for you I’m sure it has another meaning, but no need to look at the calendar when cakes look so good (and beautiful!). Your tart must be amazing!
Thank you so much Margherita. Apples are a great food and they are available throughout the year. I’m sure your Autumn is beautiful this year again! 🙂
I love jasmine flowers. I love to use them in my flower arrangements. They are gorgeous and dramatic at the same time.
Your tart sounds wonderful and it looks amazing as always!
Yes, jasmine flowers are amazing especially during the night when all the flavors explode. I put some under my pillows 😀 I’m glad you like the recipe, Francesca! 🙂
This looks amazing! You should open a bakery! I’ll be the first in line 🙂 You really are an exceptional baker, Linda!
Thanks a lot Angie, you’re so kind. I’m not exceptional 😀 I just enjoy cooking and baking. If we were neighbors I will send you a daily basket full of surprises 😉 Have a wonderful weekend! 🙂
