Preheat oven to 200°C (180°C fan) mark 6. Lightly dust a work surface with flour and roll out the pastry until it measures roughly 25.5cm x 35.5cm (10in x 14in) and is 5mm (¼in) thick. Trim the edges to neaten. Put on to a large baking tray and thoroughly prick pastry all over with a fork, leaving a 1cm (½in) border unpricked around the edge.
Step 2
Spread half the jam over the pricked pastry, then arrange apple slices on top, overlapping them to make neat rows.
Step 3
Bake the tart for 30-35min until pastry is golden and apples have just started to take on colour. When the tart is 5min away from the end of the cooking time, heat the remaining jam with 2tsp water until just boiling, then carefully brush all over the apples straight after you remove the tart from the oven. Serve in slices, warm or at room temperature, with cream or ice cream, if you like.
To freeze
Cut the finished glazed tart into slices. Wrap each slice well with non-stick baking parchment and freeze for up to 1 month (wrapped slices can be stacked on top of each other).
