Ingredients:

1 batch frozen Puff pastry, thawed
500g of apple compote
4 Apples, peeled and diced
75g of butter, melted and cooled
90g of sugar
1 tbsp of vanilla extract
40g of flour
2 Large eggs

Method:

Use the puff pastry to line a tart tin and set aside.

In a mixing bowl, beat together the melted butter, sugar, vanilla extract and eggs. Beat until pale and thick then sift over the flour and mix to form a creamy batter.

Spread the apple compote on top of the puff pastry base then add the cider apples. Top with the batter.

Transfer to an oven pre-heated to 190°C (gas mark 6). Bake for 30 minutes then reduce the oven to 180°C (gas mark 6) and bake for a further 30 minutes (if the top of the cake is browning too quickly cover with a sheet of foil).

Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 10 minutes. Sprinkle icing sugar over the top and serve warm.
