      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 175øC (fan) / 350øF.

  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 180øC /
  350øF, 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.
