How to prepare it step by step?
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 180°C with top and bottom heat to ensure even cooking. Lightly grease the mold or cover it with parchment paper.
- Peel, core, and cut the apples into thin, regular slices to ensure even cooking and retained juiciness.
- Spread the shortcrust pastry over the mold, gently pressing the edges to adapt to the shape. Prick the base with a fork to prevent it from puffing up when baking.
- Arrange the apple slices in an orderly fashion, creating concentric circles or a fan design.
- Sprinkle the sugar and cinnamon evenly, then dot small pieces of butter over the surface for added shine and flavor.
- Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the edges are golden brown and the apples are tender.
- Remove from the oven and let cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for an extra special touch.
