My version of apple pie is a mix of two classic Italian desserts, the jam tart and the apple cake. This way I pleased both those who wanted the tart and those who wanted the cake… If you like tarts

Apple Pie Preparation
For the preparation of the shortcrust pastry for the tart base, click on the link and follow the instructions https://blog.giallozafferano.it/appuntidicucina/pasta-frolla/
Once the shortcrust pastry is prepared, wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest in the fridge for about half an hour.
Meanwhile, butter and flour a tart pan and then start preparing the apples for the filling. Peel, core, and slice them about a quarter-inch thick.
Remove the shortcrust pastry from the fridge, take off the plastic wrap, and place it between two sheets of parchment paper. Roll it out with a rolling pin until you have a sheet about a quarter-inch thick.
Place your tart base into the pan and remove the excess pastry.
Now spread the blueberry jam evenly over the bottom of the tart.
Proceed by arranging the apple slices in a circular pattern.
Once all the apple slices are arranged, sprinkle with a few pinches of sugar.
Bake in a preheated oven at 350°F for 30 minutes.
When the pie is cooked, let it cool completely before serving.
Et voilà… the apple pie is now ready to be served, perhaps with a nice cup of tea.
Useful Tips
If you don’t like the blueberry jam, replace it with your preferred one; strawberry goes really well too.
