Ingredients

50g caster sugar

20g unsalted butter, plus extra for greasing

3tbsp clear honey

3 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored and quartered

3 balls stem ginger in syrup (from a jar), halved

375g pack Asda Ready Rolled Light Puff Pastry

2 scoops Asda Really Creamy Caramel Fudge Ice Cream, to serve

Method

1
Preheat the oven to 180C/160C Fan/Gas 4. Butter and line the base of a 20cm round pie dish.
2
Put the sugar and 1tsp water into a small nonstick pan. Over a medium heat, swirl the pan gently, without stirring, until the sugar has dissolved and turned dark golden brown. Stir in the butter and honey, then simmer for 3-4 mins or until liquid and syrupy.
3
Add the apples, turning in the syrup to coat. Take the pan off the heat.
4
Pour the syrup from the pan into the pie dish. Arrange the apples, rounded side down and overlapping slightly, in the tin, working in from the outside.
5
Arrange the ginger, rounded side down, in the tin between the apples.
6
Unroll the pastry. Cut out a circle a little larger than the dish. Lay over the apples, then tuck down into the tin around the filling.
7
Bake for 40-50 mins or until the pastry is cooked and golden. Cool in the tin for 10 mins, then turn out carefully onto a serving plate.
8
Scoop the ice cream onto the warm tarte and serve.
