Where to find ingredients
All ingredients are widely available in local supermarkets. Self-raising flour can be found in the baking aisle; for the apples, local seasonal varieties like Gala or Braeburn are recommended.
Preparation method
- In a large bowl, mix the self-raising flour, butter or margarine, 2 cups of sugar, and the egg yolks.
- Using your fingertips or two forks, work the mixture together until you achieve a homogeneous, crumbly texture.
- Grease a medium baking dish with butter or margarine and dust it with a little flour if desired.
- Place half of the crumbly dough into the baking dish, spreading it out and pressing firmly with a spoon to form an even base.
- Arrange the thinly sliced apples over the base.
- In a small bowl, combine the orange juice with the honey and drizzle the mixture over the apples.
- Cover the apples with the remaining crumble mixture, spreading it gently without pressing down.
- Place in a preheated oven at 180°C and bake for approximately 30-40 minutes, or until the surface is golden brown.
- Remove the tart from the oven and, while still warm, generously sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon mixture over the top.
- Let it cool slightly before serving. The tart can be enjoyed warm or cold.
