Cobnut and apple tart
- 150g of spelt flour
- 100g of unsalted butter , room temperature
- 50g of light brown sugar

Method

Preheat the oven to 160°C/gas mark 3

To roast the cobnuts, remove the shells, arrange on a tray and place them in the oven for 45 minutes. Let them cool before chopping. When you take them out of the oven they need to harden first. You will get the best results in flavour if you chop the nuts instead of using a pestle and mortar

Combine your butter with the sugar and whisk until creamy

Beat in the eggs one at a time

Add the flour and combine to create a dough

Now fold in the chopped cobnuts and a teaspoon of brandy, cider or apple juice
8
Spoon the mixture into the prepared tin, gently spreading the batter into all the corners
9
Neatly arrange the apple slices over the dough and sprinkle one teaspoon of sugar over the apples
10
Put the tart in to the oven and bake for 60 min, or until the apples are lovely and golden
11
Set the aside to cool slightly in the tin

Keep in an airtight container, that way the tart will keep for 5 days
