Inspired by her memories of family holidays in the UK, designer Cara recreated nostalgic patterns from caravanning in the 1960’s. This special range is a journey of surprise…. I also decided to bake these little tarts in my fabulous Panasonic Steam Combination Microwave, on the enamel shelf in the middle position, and they came out perfectly crisp and flaky, as you can see from the photos.Īs well as baking these tarts yesterday, I was also in receipt of an early mother’s day present myself, a fabulous selection of The Caravan Trail china and picnic-ware arrived for me, as part of my ongoing partnership with Churchill China and The Caravan Trail as their UK ambassador. The first thing I noticed was just how few ingredients you need for these “picture perfect” wee pies – all that is needed is a pack of ready-rolled puff pastry, some red skinned apples ( I used Pink Lady apples), some apricot jam, ground cinnamon, lemon juice and some icing sugar….and, after a bit of chopping, rolling and baking, you are rewarded with these pretty little fruit tarts.
