1. Core the apples with an apple corer, peel, and cut into eighths.

2. Heat 3 1/3 oz of sugar, 1 1/2 oz (40g) of butter, and the lemon juice in a frying pan over high heat, not allowing the mixture to brown. Cook over medium heat, uncovered, for 5 - 6 min. The fruit should not become too soft.

3. Halve the mangoes. Remove the seeds and peel. Cut the flesh into large chunks.

4. Preheat the oven to 350°F/180°C.

6. Roll out the dough thinly, cutting out 4 circles that are 4 inches (10 cm) in diameter. Cover each pan with a disc of dough, folding in the sides.

7. Bake for 15 min. Lower the temperature to 150C and continue cooking for 20 min.

8. Take the tartlets out of the oven and allow to cool for 10 min.

9. Turn out upside down on serving plates.
