Caramelised Apple Tart

What is it?

Rustic pastry holds caramelised apple slices in this bake-from-frozen tart. The filling is usually built around sliced apples cooked with sugar, then set into a shortcrust or similar pastry base for the oven. At the freezer aisle end of M&S’s range, it sits closer to other ready-to-bake desserts than to chilled bakery items, so you get the puff of heat and browning after baking rather than a ready-to-eat slice. It’s the kind of tart that comes out with softened fruit and a golden edge, meant to be served once the pastry has cooked through.
