Tips and tricks

You can lightly toast the sliced almonds in a dry skillet before adding them to give the tart an extra crunch.

If your mango jam is too thick, warm it in the microwave for a few seconds so it brushes easily over the top.

Make sure to let the tart cool completely before unmolding and slicing so the filling sets properly and does not fall apart.

Frequently asked questions

Can I use a different jam to glaze the tart?

Yes, if you do not have mango jam, classic apricot or peach jam works wonderfully. Just warm it slightly so it spreads smoothly.

How do I know when the apple tart is set?

It is ready after 25-30 minutes at 180 °C, when the edges of the puff pastry are golden and the center feels set and firm to the touch.

How should I store this apple tart?

Once it has cooled completely, store it in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It keeps nicely for about 3 days.
