- Prick the base of the pastry all over with a fork.
- Pour the filling on top of the pastry base.HINT: Just use as much of the filling so that the puff pastry is about 1cm higher on the sides than the filling. This is because the filling will swell up during baking and therefore won't run over the edge.
- Bake in the lowest part of the preheated oven at 200Ā° Celisius / 392Ā° Fahrenheit for about 40-45 minutes or until the pastry base is firm enough. You can carefully test with a cake shovel if the base is firm enough. For the filling you can prick the filling with a knife or toothpick, if there is nothing sticking on, the filling is ready aswell.
- Take the tart out of the oven and put it carefully together with the baking sheet on a cooling grid. Let the cake cool down completely.
