Step by step

  1. An adult preheats the oven to 200 °C, cores the apple and cuts four thin rings. Line the tray with baking paper.
  2. Cut a circle from each pastry square with the bowl. Count the bases and place one ring on each. Beat the egg, brush the pastry edges and sprinkle the sugar over the apples. Wash hands after handling the egg.
  3. Set a timer for 20 minutes. An adult puts the tray in the oven and removes it after 20–25 minutes, when the pastry is golden and cooked through. Let the tarts cool before tasting.
