Steps:
- Blitz the flour, butter and sugar in a food processor. Add 1 egg yolk and blitz again. The pastry should come together into a ball. If not, add the second yolk and 1-2 tsp cold water. Shape the pastry into a disc. Wrap the disc and leave to rest in the fridge for about 45 mins.
- Roll the pastry out into a circle on a lightly floured piece of baking parchment. It needs to be about 5cm bigger than a 25cm tart tin with a loose-bottomed base.
- Use the rolling pin to lift the pastry and line the tin with it. Push it into the sides of the tin all the way round, then cut off the excess. Chill in the freezer for 30 mins.
- Heat the oven to 180C/160C fan/ gas 4. Fill the case with crumpled baking parchment and baking beans, then blind-bake the pastry case for 20 mins. Remove the beans and paper, then bake for another 15 mins. Take the tart case out and leave to cool in the tin. Increase the heat to 200C/180C fan/gas 6.
- Meanwhile, for the filling, put the apples into a saucepan with the porter. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-8 mins until the porter has reduced by about half. Put this in a bowl with the breadcrumbs, oats, citrus zests and lemon juice.
- Warm the golden syrup in a pan over a low heat with the butter and a pinch of salt. Leave to cool, then whisk in the cream and eggs. Mix this into the rest of the filling.
- Spoon the filling into the tart case, then bake for 40 mins, or until the surface is dark golden and the filling seems just set when you press the centre (it will continue to set as the tart cools). Serve warm with some whipped double cream.

Steps:
- Roll out the pastry on a flour-dusted surface until big enough to line a 23cm fluted tart tin, about 3cm deep. Lift the pastry into the tin to line, then cover and chill for 30 mins.
- Heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Scrunch up a big sheet of baking parchment and use to line the pastry before filling with baking beans (or dried lentils or rice). Bake for 20 mins, then remove the beans and parchment and bake for 10-12 mins more until the pastry is golden and biscuity.
- Meanwhile, put the golden syrup, breadcrumbs, zest from both lemons and juice from 1, and the eggs in a big mixing bowl. Peel 2 of the apples and coarsely grate into the bowl. Mix everything together.
- Reduce oven to 160C/140C fan/gas 3. Use an apple corer to core the 3 remaining apples, then slice thinly into rings. Toss the slices with the remaining lemon juice to stop them from browning. Tip the syrupy crumbs into the tin and arrange just enough of the apple slices in an overlapping ring. Brush an extra 1-2 tbsp syrup over the apple slices until they're covered, then return the tart to the oven and bake for 55 mins-1 hr until the exposed filling feels set to the touch.
- Cool for 10 mins in the tin, then carefully remove, drizzle a little more syrup over the top and serve warm with custard, ice cream or dollops of clotted cream.

APPLE TREACLE TART
Treacle tarts are usually made with a combination of golden syrup and molasses. The dessert has a texture similar to pecan pie (minus the nuts). Recipe by Tamasin Day-Lewis and taken from Bon Appetit May 2010 for ZWT. ****Golden syrup is a type of cane syrup popular in Great Britain; available at some supermarkets and at specialty foods stores and British import shops. RZ doesn't recognize this as an ingredient, and there should be 1 and 1/4 cups of golden syrup in the filling.
