This Apple Tart or Tarte aux Pommes, is another of my favourite recipes. I love the tart nature of the apples, especially when served with cream or ice cream.  It is a perfect accompaniment to a dinner and nourishingly heart-warming.

Prune puree, I purchase from Urban Native Organics and Wholefoods in Stroud Green, London.  It’s a small store, which I support.  You can find them here 

It’s the Clearspring brand that I use of the Prune puree.  Normally, once open, I place in the freezer for use subsequently.  This keeps it fresh and available to use at any time.

Amaranth seeds, I get from a non-profit small charitable store in Stoke Newington, London –  I like to support small outlets, where I can.  You can find the shop here
