Apple Tart with Cinnamon Pastry & Raspberry Glaze - Fresh apples sliced, mixed with cinnamon sitting on top of a buttery cinnamon pastry isn’t as difficult as to make as some might think.

 Granny Smith apples were the ones I chose for this tart, even though they’re not the ones I would choose to bite into as a snack, they’re perfect for this tart.

 Apricot jam is traditionally used for the glaze, but like most things I put together, I try to pimp it up a little, and I this case, I’ve used a raspberry preserve to glaze it.
