Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 200°C/400°F/Gas 6. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface and use it to line a 23cm loose-bottom flan tin. Line with baking parchment and baking beans and blind bake for 10 minutes.
- Remove the paper and beans and cook for a further 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 180°C/350°F/Gas 4.
- Arrange the fruit slices into the pastry case and scatter the pecan nuts on top.
- Whisk together the butter, syrup, eggs and cinnamon with 100ml cold water. Place the tin on a baking sheet, put onto the oven shelf then carefully pour the egg and butter mixture over the apples (this is to stop the mixture from spilling while carrying it to the oven).
- Bake for 25 minutes until golden brown and set. Allow to cool before serving in slices with single cream.
