Apple and Almond Treacle Tart

Number of servings: 8
Estimated Prep Time: 25 minutes
Estimated Cooking Time: 1 hour

This is quite rich; it cries out for a thick cream, whipped cream, custard or ice cream with it.

Very, very good.


Ingredients

1 Pie Crust
1 tin Golden Syrup about 700g
100 grams Almonds (ground)
100 grams Fresh Bread Crumbs
2 Apples
1 Lemon
25 grams Slivered Almonds
1 tablespoon Icing Sugar





Directions


Cooking at: 200 C / Gas Mark 6 / 400 F

Start oven heating.

Make pie crust, line an 8 inch / 20cm pie pan with it, poke holes with fork and bake it for 15 minutes, then remove from oven and let it cool.

Reduce oven heat to 375 F / 190 C.

Mix in a saucepan the golden syrup, ground almonds, and the breadcrumbs, then put on a burner over medium heat and cook stirring occasionally for 5 minutes.

Meanwhile, peel and grate the apples.

Take syrup mixture off heat, stir in the apples, and the juice of the lemon. Stir, let cool a bit, then pour into pie shell, and sprinkle the almond flakes on top. Place on a cookie sheet (in case it boils over and makes a sticky mess out of the bottom of your oven), and bake for about 20 minutes. Remove from oven, cover with foil, then cook for a further 25 minutes.

When done, let cool, then dust with the icing sugar through a sieve or strainer.
