While you make the apple sauce start cutting the other apples into thin slices using a sharp knife or mandoline.
3 medium dessert apples
When the applesauce is ready, spread it evenly on top of the puff pastry leaving a thin border (2cm / 0.8 inch) all around.
Overlap the apple slices on top to cover the whole tart.
Once all the apples are laid out, dot tart with dairy free butter and sprinkle sugar on top.
2 Tbsp dairy-free butter + 1/2 Tbsp for pastry brushing, 2 Tbsp light brown muscovado sugar
Brush some melted dairy free butter on the plain border.
Cook for 30mins until crisp and golden.
If you wish, when the tart is cooked, you can add some additional topping such as: (vegan) caramel sauce, toasted almond flakes or melted apricot jam.
