Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
To make the crust: sift the flour in a large bowl. Rub in the butter until you have a soft bread crumb texture. Add the egg and work until the crumb mixture comes together to form a firm dough. Roll out the dough and cut into circles, roughly 10 cm in diameter. Line the small tins with the dough circles.
Peel, core and slice the apples in thick wedges. Melt the butter and sugar in a saucepan. Stir and allow the mixture to get a light brown color. Add the apple wedges together with the honey and let them simmer for a while. Remove the apple wedges (leaving the sugar mixture in the pan) and arrange them on top of the dough in the tins.
Add in the condensed milk and cardamom into the sugar mixture and let simmer, stirring constantly for 5 minutes.
Beat the eggs, add them to the mixture and stir. Spread the mixture over the apple wedges and bake the tartlets in the bottom of the oven for about 20 minutes. Enjoy!
