and cut the apples into thick slices.
Arrange in the pastry case and bake for

Tip
As a variation, this tart can be baked
using a filling made of 150 g crème
fraîche, 2 eggs, 1 tbsp icing sugar and
2 tsp of vanilla sugar instead of the
caramel. Pour this mixture over the
apples at the end of the first 30 minutes
of baking and then continue baking.
This recipe will take about 10 minutes
longer than the recipe above.
