Peel apples and cut it into quarters and thinly sliced each quarter into triangles . simply arrange the slices on the remaining 7(one third) pastry and generously sprinkle the sugar on top then add the tiny butter cubes

Mix honey and warm water well and brush the mini apple tart with it right after taking it out of oven and let the pastry cool completely

Step 8/8

Reactivate the cream pastry by giving it a good whisk with hand mixer or whisker. Now with piping bag or spoon and cool pastry let's start layering one pastry then layer of cream then pastry then layer of cream and finally put one mini apple tart on top. after finishing the whole slices let it set in the fridge for 3 to 4 hours and good luck *dust it with icing sugar as a final touch and enjoy your treat*
