Graphic apple slices adorn this funky tart, which we’ve doused in a sweet and sour rosemary-infused hot honey – the perfect starter for a long lunch. We’ve used Roquefort – a sheep’s milk blue cheese – but Gorgonzola dolce or Bleu d’Auvergne would work too.

Ingredients

Method

1

For pastry, combine flour, butter and 1 tsp fine sea salt in a bowl, toss to combine and place in the freezer for 10 minutes to chill. Remove from freezer and transfer to a food processor with rosemary; pulse in food processor until butter is the size of peas. Tip onto a clean work surface and using the heel of your hand, smear butter into flour until a shaggy dough forms. Make a well in centre, add 80ml iced water, then use your hands to bring the dough together to form a ball. Flatten to a rough rectangle, wrap in plastic wrap and refrigerate to rest (2 hours).

2

Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface to a 3mm-thick, 45cm x 30cm rough rectangle, then trim to 40cm x 30cm (discard pastry scraps). Place on a baking tray lined with baking paper and refrigerate to rest (30 minutes).

3

Preheat oven to 180°C fan-forced. For Roquefort filling, combine ingredients in a food processor and process until smooth. Spread filling over pastry, leaving a 2cm border. Arrange apple slices, slightly overlapping on top, season to taste and roll in pastry edges to form a border. Brush edge with eggwash and bake until golden and cooked through (40-45 minutes). Stand to cool briefly (20 minutes).

4

Meanwhile, for hot honey, heat honey and rosemary in small saucepan over low heat until fragrant (3 minutes). Remove from the heat and stir in Sherry vinegar.

5

Cut tart in slices and serve drizzled with rosemary hot honey and scatter with roasted walnuts.
