james martin recipe for apple tart
Some desserts look elegant without trying too hard — and James Martin’s Apple Tart is one of those timeless classics.
With its crisp buttery pastry and beautifully arranged layers of apples, this dessert proves that simple ingredients can create something truly memorable.
As the tart bakes, the pastry turns delicately golden while the apples soften and develop a naturally sweet flavour with a light caramelised finish. A glossy topping adds the final touch, creating a dessert that feels both rustic and refined.
Whether you’re baking for afternoon tea, serving guests after dinner, or simply making the most of apple season, this recipe shows why classic desserts never lose their appeal.
Golden, crisp, and filled with fresh apple flavour — this is the kind of bake that disappears slice by slice.
