This is my favourite dessert from my favourite Italian restaurant. Adapted from The Ask Italian Cookbook for two.
Apple Rustica
Ingredients
- 1 x Frangipane.
- 1/2 quantity of Italian Shortcrust Pastry.
- 1 apple (or pear), peeled, cored, and finely sliced (just remove the bottom part of core of pears).
Directions
- Roll out your Italian Shortcrust Pastry to a 5mm thickness and line two small Pyrex Cook & Heat dishes
- Put in fridge while you prepare the apples and preheat oven to 190°C
- Cream butter and sugar together. Add apples, to coat them with the paste.
- Split apple/pear mixture between your two cases.
- Cover with the Frangipane mixture, spreading evenly over the coated apples.
- Bake for 32 minutes then remove and allow to cool.
