Happy Apple Day. 🍏

Having researched so many things from the 18th century, our curators came across this Georgian apple tart recipe - well, we had to test it out of course. 🥧

Which would you try? If you want to bake one at home, here's a version of the recipe for you.

Shortcrust pastry and pureed apple tart (makes approx. 12 tarts):
Ingredients
4-6 Cooking apples
1 pack shortcrust pastry
1 Orange
1 Cinnamon stick
Sugar – a large tablespoon or so should do
A little flour for dusting

Method:
Preheat the oven to 180°F.
Peel the orange and chop the peel into fine small strands.
Place the peel in a saucepan, cover with water and add a cinnamon stick.
Bring to the boil and let it cook through until tender – about 20-30mins.
Remove from the heat, drain in a sieve to leave the orange peel.
Meanwhile, peel and core the apples, chop into pieces about 1cm x 1cm.
Place the apple pieces into a saucepan, add enough water to cover them and cook until the apple is tender and becomes a soft puree.
Remove from the heat and strain through a sieve. Keeping any syrup.
Dust your work surface and your muffin pan with a little flour. Roll out your pastry and cut out 12 circles to fit your tin.
Line your pan with your pastry so that it covers the base and sides, making sure there are no cracks.
Add in a spoonful of apple puree to fill each tart.
Sprinkle on top a pinch of orange peel on each.
Drizzle on top of each some of the syrup.
Bake in the oven for 15-20minutes until the pastry is cooked and golden.

And enjoy.
