Title: Rosh Hashanah Apple, Rose, And Honey Tart
Categories: Tarts
Yield: 1 Tart

MMMMM---------------------------DOUGH--------------------------------
300 g Plain flour; +/- 50 g
180 g Butter; softened
100 g Caster sugar
1 md Egg

MMMMM--------------------------TOPPING-------------------------------
12 md Dessert apples (8 for
-compote, 4 for apple roses)
2 tb Honey; plus extra to finish
-if required
1 ts Vanilla essence
Dried rose petals/buds; for
-garnish

Heat your oven to 175°C (fan) / 350°F.

To Make The Pastry:

Mix the flour, butter, sugar, and egg into a soft dough and put it on
a sheet of floured baking paper. Sprinkle more flour on top and roll
into a circle about 1/2 cm thick and 25 to 30 cm in diameter.

Pick up the pastry by rolling it (and the paper) over your rolling
pin, and lay it carefully over a 22 to 25 cm round tart dish or
tin--paper down. Cut the excess of baking paper and dough with
scissors.

Blind bake the base until pale beige for 10 minutes. Set aside.

For the compote: peel and core 8 apples and cut into small pieces.
Cook in a pan for 20 to 30 minutes at medium heat with a bit of water
until the apples have softened.

Once cooked, cool down and add the honey and vanilla essence.
Liquidize to break them down--I like to leave a bit of chunky texture.

For The Topping:

Quarter the remaining 4 (unpeeled) apples and cut into thin slices.
The thinner they are, the easier to form the roses. Poach them gently
in a large frying pan with about 50 to 80 ml of water for
approximately 10 minutes until they soften. Once soft, drain off all
the water and dry completely on a plate lined with kitchen paper.

Spread a 1 cm layer of compote over the cooked pastry. You may not
need it all.

When you are ready to bake the tart, preheat your oven to 180°C /
350°F, then you can create the apple roses. Do this by taking one
slice of apple and rolling it into a sausage shape, then rolling
another slice around it; then another one until you have formed a
rose. Four slices should make a medium rose; six, a bigger one.
Arrange the roses on the apple compote until completely covered .

Bake for 35 to 40 minutes approximately until all the apples roses are
golden brown.

Serve decorated with dried rose buds/petals if you wish. And you could
brush with a little runny honey for extra gloss.
