Notes for Success:

Granny Smith apples are my alternative for baking apples however you need to use no matter baking apples you like probably the most!

Cornstarch is a really tough ingredient to measure persistently with a quantity/spoons measure
So whereas I record each measures beneath I can not stress sufficient how the grams measure with a scale goes to provide the finest outcomes.
Many occasions folks have complained that their custard is like rubber they usually don’t know why!

The important thing to a profitable flaky puff pastry is  to bake at a excessive temperature.

I used the convection setting on my oven at 400°F which is nearer to 425°F on a daily typical oven setting.

Soaking the raisins in juice or coconut water for about an hour earlier than baking on the tarts will guarantee plump juicy raisins versus laborious, burnt pebbles!

Simply Egg is a superb alternative for immediate egg wash, nonetheless it is vitally expensive and I not often purchase it anymore *not sponsored
Use your favourite egg wash as an alternative!
