Ingredients

1 sheet pastry from a 375g pack all-butter puff pastry
125 g white marzipan, chilled and coarsely grated
40 g butter
4 Braeburn apples, quartered, cored and sliced
juice of 1 large lemon
25 g demerara sugar
1/2 tsp ground mixed spice

Directions

1. Step 1
  Preheat oven to 200ºC (180ºC fan oven) mark 6. Grease the bases of six 7.5cm (3in) individual tartlet tins. Roll out the pastry sheet a little more thinly. Stamp out six 12.5cm (5in) rounds of pastry, using a saucer as a guide. Line tins and prick bases twice with a fork. Chill for 10min.
2. Step 2
  Line with greaseproof paper and beans. Bake blind for 10min, remove paper and beans, cook for a further 10min, sprinkle in marzipan and cook for a further 5min or until marzipan melts and pastry is cooked. Heat butter in a large non-stick frying pan. Add apples, lemon juice, sugar and spice and cook over a high heat for 5min, turning as needed until most of the lemon juice has evaporated and the apples are just tender.
3. Step 3
  Pile into warm pastry cases, then put back in the oven for 2–3min. Serve with crème fraîche.
