Canterbury Pudding Tart recipe
information
Yet another apple tart? But wait until you taste it. This is a rich, creamy, lemony tart with a chunky apple centre and crunchy caramelised slices around the edge. Any good dessert apple can be used for this as long as it is not too mealy or mushy. Coarsely grating the apple as well as finely grating the lemon zest complements the nature of the centre of the tart. In a way, this tart is akin to the official French Apple Tart, which has a base of pre-cooked apple puree, but the grated apple, cream, lemon and egg mixture in this tart is so much more tasty.

225 g (8 oz) rich sweet shortcrust pastry
5 - 6 good dessert apples (depending on size), peeled, cored and quartered
