Ingredients
- 1 1/2 tablespoon butter or coconut oil
- 4-5 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and diced
- 4-5 large stalks rhubarb, cut into 2cm dice
- zest and juice ½ orange
- 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/2 cup caster sugar
- 2 square sheets sweet shortcrust pastry
- 1 egg whisked with 2 tablespoons milk
Method
- 1Preheat oven to 190°C.
- 2Melt butter in a medium-large saucepan over medium heat. Add apple and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring, until starting to soften, then add rhubarb, orange zest and juice and cinnamon, and continue cooking for a further 4-5 minutes until starting to soften. Stir in the sugar until it has dissolved. Set pan aside to cool until you are ready to assemble the tart.
- 3Roll out one sheet of pastry on a clean, dry surface to about 2-3mm thick. Line a pie dish (about 25cm in diameter) with the pastry. Don't worry if it tears in places – just squish it back together. You may need to use some of the other sheet of pastry and off-cuts to line the whole tin. Trim around the edges to create a neat, flat edge. Prick with a fork in a few places and brush with egg wash. Bake blind for about 15 minutes until golden. Remove tart shell from oven and set aside to cool in its dish.
- 4Fill tart shell with apple and rhubarb filling. Cut the remaining square of pastry into 1cm-wide strips and arrange on top in a lattice.
- 5Brush top lightly with egg wash. Bake for about 20 minutes or until pastry is crisp and golden. Serve warm with custard, ice cream or cream.
