  • 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.
