Ingredients

Scale

For the dough

  • 1 1/3 cups (175g) all-purpose flour
  • pinch of baking powder
  • 1/4 cup (50g) muscovado sugar
  • pinch of salt
  • pinch of cardamom
  • 7 oz. (200g) vegetable margarine
  • 1 egg

For the filling

  • 3 apples (about 21 oz.)
  • 1/4 cup (60ml) water
  • 2 tbsp. muscovado sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. cardamom
  • 1/2 cup (50g) sliced almonds
  • muscovado sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

  1. Add the flour to a large bowl and mix with baking powder, muscovado sugar, salt and cardamom. Add the egg and margarine and knead quickly until you have a soft and sticky dough. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for about 1 hour.
  2. While the dough is in the fridge, wash, peel and core the apples. Cut into thin slices. Add the water, sugar and cardamom to a saucepan and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and add the apple slices. Let simmer for about 3-4 minutes. Remove from the heat and let cool down.
  3. Preheat the oven to 390˚F (200°C). Grease 6 small tartlet tins (about 4.7inch/12cm) and set aside. Divide the dough into 6 equal pieces. Take a bit of flour into your hands and form each piece of dough into a flat disc. Place in the tartlet tins and press to the bottom and sides to form a crust. Sprinkle sliced almonds on top and arrange the apple slices nicely on top, pour a bit of the sugar water from the apples on top and sprinkle with muscovado sugar. Bake for 25-28 minutes. Take out of the oven and let cool down for a moment. Take out of the tins and serve warm with some vanilla custard or vanilla ice cream.
