Apple flan

Torta tat-tuffieħ (apple flan)

Line a dish with short-crust or olive oil pastry (no need to use sweet pastry);  thinly slice four large apples;  dust the base with some breadcrumbs and some cinnamon and ground cloves;  layer the sliced apples to form a nice pattern, overlapping each other.  Sprinkle with some sugar, some cinnamon and ground cloves;  warm 4 tbs of jam in the microwave and drizzle over the apples.  Bake in a moderate oven (electric fan 150 degrees) for about an hour.
