      Recipe is created for
      TM 6
      For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.

Tip

The pastry can be stored in the fridge for a week or frozen.
Break up the process by making the pastry and baking a day or a few days prior...will keep fine and gets refreshed when tart is baking in the oven. Filling can be made ahead too so its is easy to throw together the tart for lunch or dinner
