  • 435g pkt Careme vanilla bean sweet shortcrust pastry or 3 sheets frozen shortcrust pastry, thawed
  • 4 green apples, peeled, chopped
  • 1/3 cup (75g) caster sugar
  • 1 cinnamon quill
  • 80g unsalted butter

  • 2 tablespoons golden syrup
  • 1 3/4 cups (120g) fresh breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 firmly packed cup (110g) brown sugar

Method

  • 1.
    Roll the pastry out to 5mm thick and use to line six 10cm loose-bottomed tart pans. Trim excess and chill.
  • 2.
    Preheat oven to 180°C. Place apple, caster sugar, cinnamon, 1 tablespoon butter and 2 tablespoons water in a pan over medium-low heat. Cook, stirring occasionally, for 8-10 minutes until fruit has softened. Stir in berries. Set aside.

    Line the pastry cases with baking paper and fill with pastry weights or uncooked rice. Bake for 8 minutes, then remove paper and weights and bake for a further 2-3 minutes until golden and dry.

    Meanwhile, place golden syrup and remaining butter in a pan and stir over low heat until melted. In a separate bowl, mix crumbs and brown sugar. Stir butter mixture into dry ingredients. Set aside.
