German Apple Tart


125gr margarine (room temperature)
1 egg
220gr flour
5ml baking powder
70gr sugar
grated rind of 1 lemon
a drop of vanilla essence
pinch of salt
Mix ingredients together till it forms a smooth dough.
Place in refrigerator - let it rest for 30minutes.

4 to 5 large apples
4 to 5 teaspoons sugar
a handful of raisins
juice of 1 orange
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon honey (optional)
Peel and chop apples in small pieces, place apples, juice of
1 orange, 4 or 5 teaspoons sugar, raisins and spices in a sauce-
pan, bring to a boil, until the apples are cooked.
( I like to add the honey before the apples are cooked)
Leave to cool.

Roll out the dough on a floured surface, and place it in a buttered
glass dish, (22cm or 8inch)
Spread a little smooth apricot jam over the dough.
Place the cooked apples into the dish and bake at 180°C

Sprinkle with icing sugar (when tart is cool)
Enjoy with fresh whipped cream.
