Instructions
Tart shells
- Preheat oven to 180 degrees.
- Lightly grease a mini muffin tray. You may wish to use a silicone form. This will be easier to remove the tarts from.
- Place all tart shell ingredients into tmx bowl.
- Blitz on speed 5 for 30 seconds or until a dough forms. Sometimes it takes slightly longer depending on butter temperature.
- Alternatively, use a food processor to form the dough if you do not have a tmx. Process on high until a dough forms.
- Press a small ball of dough into each muffin hole. It only needs to be a few millimeters in thickness.
- Bake until golden brown. This will be about 10 minutes but watch them throughout the baking process.
- You may need to use the back of a spoon just to push the shell back into shape if it puffs up too much during baking. I only had to with one or two shells.
- Allow to cool completely and remove from tray. You may need to use a knife to release the tart from the tin.
Crumb
- Whilst the shells are cooking, place the almonds and coconut onto an oven tray and bake until slightly toasted.
- Once toasted, place into tmx bowl and turbo once very quickly to break up the crumb slightly.
- Alternatively, use a food processor to form the crumb if you do not have a tmx.
Apples
- Place all ingredients into bowl.
- Cook on 100 degrees, reverse, spoon soft for 2 minutes. If you want them softer you can cook for an extra few minutes. See note.
- Alternatively, place the apples into a microwave dish with lid and steam for 2 minutes.
Assembly
- Place a little apple filling into each shell and sprinkle with some of the crumb.
- Serve warm or cold with a drizzle of cream.
Notes
- Some people prefer to cook the apples for 8 minutes.
