  2. Peel, core and thinly slice the apples, then arrange them, overlapping, over the base of the chilled tart shell.

  5. Pour the custard evenly over the apples.
  6. Return to the oven at 180 °C (350 °F) and bake for 30-35 minutes until the custard is set with a light golden colour and the apples are tender.
  7. Cool for at least 20 minutes, dust with powdered sugar and serve warm or at room temperature.
