Cinnamon powder - 1/2 tsp
Raisins - 1/2 cup
Butter - 2 tbsp
Method:
- Place the flour on a work platform.
- Cut the chilled butter into very small pieces and gradually mix with flour with your fingertips till the mixture resembles bread crumbs.
- Add sugar and sprinkle ice cold water as required to make smooth dough. Do not over knead. (The chilled butter and ice clod water make the base flaky and crispy)
- Chill for 10 minutes.
- Roll out the dough onto a pie dish and blind-bake (blind baking is a procedure for preparing a pre-baked pie or tart shell) in a preheated oven at 180C for 15 minutes; retain some dough for further use. Take out and cool.
- Peel and de-seed the apples, and cut them into small cubes.
- Heat butter in a pan, add apples, sugar, cinnamon powder and raisins.
- Cook in low till apples are soft.
- Place the apple mixture onto the blind baked tart shell.
- Make thin strips with remaining dough and arrange on top of the apple mixture. Bake it for 20 minutes at 180C.
- Serve warm with fresh cream or vanilla ice cream.
