Dundee Apple Tart
Serves 6

Ingredients
* 4 cooking apples, peeled, sliced thinly
* 2 tbsp sugar (or 1 tbsp “agave nectar” for diabetics)
* ½ tsp cinnamon
* Juice of 1 lemon
* 350g/ 12 oz shortcrust pastry
* Milk and sugar, to glaze

Method:
1. Place the apples in a microwave bowl with the sugar (or agave), cinnamon and lemon juice. Cover tightly and cook for about 5 minutes until softened but still a little firm
2. Drain over a sieve and cool
3. Roll out the pastry to fit a shallow tart tin (approx 23cm/9in), fill with the apples then roll out another piece of pastry to cover
4. Seal the edges, then paint the surface with some milk. Sprinkle with a little sugar (but not if cooking for diabetics). Slash 2 holes in the top for the steam to escape.
5. Bake in an oven preheated to 190 C/  375 F/ Gas 5 for 35-40minutes or until the pastry is golden
