Treat your ingredients with care...

• Apples — Choose firm and slightly tart apples such as Granny Smith or Braeburn for the best flavor and texture.
• Puff pastry — If you prefer a flakier crust, you can make your own puff pastry from scratch or use a high-quality store-bought version.
• Vanilla ice cream — Opt for a premium quality vanilla ice cream to complement the warm tart.

• If you don't have a round baking dish, you can use a cast-iron skillet instead.
• Add a sprinkle of cinnamon or a drizzle of caramel sauce over the tart for extra flavor.
