Apple Tart

This is why everything started for me, the apple tart, so easy, so tasty and so difficult to find in Scotland, at least this one, with a base with some lemon, a custard filling and an apple top, there is nothing that makes me think about home like this. Takes 2 hours from start to finish, but I do everything myself, even the glaze on top. Hope you enjoy it.

For the tart shell: 
100g of butter
2 eggs
2 Tbsp of white sugar
Flour (as much as you need)
1 lemon (zest)

Filling :
1/2 l of milk
4 Tbsp of white sugar
1 lemon (peel)
2 Tbsp of cornflour

Top layer:
3/4Kg of apples
1cup of brandy (optional)
1 cinnamon stick
300g of white sugar

 Peel the apples and core and cut them in thin slices, put the whit the cognac, a cup of water and the sugar over a low heat until soft. For the filling just make a custard and use the cores and peels cook them with water for one hour, strain it and mesure the liquid, now add the same amount of sugar and make a syrup. For the tart shell, put all the ingredients together, mix them and start adding flour until you get a soft dough, roll it and put it on a greased tin, fill it with the custard and place the apples on top, like a circle, place the tart in the oven until bake, once is out using a cooking brush paint the apples with the syrup. Now wait until cold to it it... If you can :)
