Paul Ainsworth served up a apple tart (tarte aux pommes) with lemon curd using Mildred Nicholls recipe on Royal Recipes with Michael Buerk.

The recipe was taken from maid Mildred Nicholls’s notebook, who worked in the Buckingham palace kitchen in the early 1900s.

The ingredient included: Bramley apple, muscovado sugar, butter, lemon, sweet pastry and icing sugar.

For the lemon curd: lemon juice, butter, 3 egg yolks, 1 egg, corn flour and sugar.
