The glorious applet tart pushes all the right buttons with a crisp sweet pastry and a surprise creamy caramel chocolate layer that is just so divine! Top tip, you might want to cut yourself a slightly larger slice than usual!

Ingredients

• 1 pack of ready made puff pastry
• 120g Lily O’Brien’s Creamy Caramels with Sea Salt (1 share bag)
• 2 large or 3 small apples, cored and quartered
• 3 tbsp light brown sugar
• Juice of 1/2 a lemon
• 1 tsp ground cinnamon
• 1 small egg lightly beaten
• Extra light brown sugar for sprinkling

Method

• Remove your ready made pastry from the fridge and unroll it onto a medium baking tray lined with baking paper
• Preheat oven to 200C / 180C fan
• Place the chocolate into a microwavable bowl and melt for 30 seconds in the microwave or until just melted and stir. Spread a rectangle of melted chocolate over the centre of the rectangle of pastry, leaving a 3cm border around the edges
• In a medium sized bowl add the lemon juice, sugar and cinnamon and stir to combine
• Slice your apples into thin 3mm wide slices and add to the bowl of lemon and sugar, gently mix to evenly coat all the apples
• Arrange the apple slices over the top of your chocolate rectangle then fold each edge of pasty over the apples until all edges are folded over
• Brush the beaten egg over the pastry crust and sprinkle the pasty and apples with a generous amount of light brown sugar
• Bake for around 40-45 minutes of until the crust is a golden brown colour. Remove from the oven and transfer the galette along with the baking paper onto a wire rack to cool completely before slicing.
