Autumn Apple Whiskey Raisin Tart

Serves 4

I love the simplicity of an autumn apple tart. Understated and classic, there is something matchless about apples, butter and sugar, baked until caramelised, sweet and heady with aroma. This tart has the added flavour of whiskey soaked raisins, tossed in butter and added with heavy hand. Plump, delicious, they blend in as if they were always there. The heat of the oven bakes the alcohol out of the raisins, but the peatiness of the whiskey remains.

I buy sweet shortcrust pastry for the ease and convenience, but if you are looking for a recipe to try, the quintessential Edmonds Cookbook is a great place to start. This tart is very free form, allowing you pull the pastry up and over the fruit. But the filling does translate well to a lidded pie.

  • 3 tbsp raisins
  • 1 tbsp whiskey
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1 sheet sweet shortcrust pastry
  • 2 granny smith apples
  • 1 tbsp cornflour
