Hungarian apple tart: An easy pie recipe for any occasion

Fruit pies aren’t that popular in South Africa except for apple crumble. It’s a great treat for those coffee dates with friends or as a dessert after a big meal. Apple pie is most known for tasting like the holidays thanks to cinnamon and cloves. Our Hungarian apple tart is a simple recipe that takes less than 45-minutes to make and is great with your favourite cup of tea or coffee.

Hungarian apple tart tips

The simple pie crust doesn’t need par baking. However, if you’re worried about a soggy bottom, bake it for a few minutes weighted down with rice. The recipe isn’t spiced with cinnamon but you’re welcome to add it into the recipe. Use precooked or canned apples which will also take less time to bake. It’s best served with ice cream or whipped cream while enjoying a cup of tea.

We all love a tasty dessert. Try our Hungarian apple tart with your family this weekend. It’s a golden sweet treat.
