Instructions

1.	Preheat the oven to 400°F.
2.	Peel, core, and slice the apples into medium sized pieces.

5.	Spread the marmalade evenly over the pastry.
6.	Drain any excess liquid from the apple mixture, then spoon it into the pastry-lined tart pan, spreading it evenly.
7.	Brush the edges of the pastry with milk.
8.	Bake in the oven for approximately 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is lightly caramelized.
9.	Once cooled, remove the tart from the pan and slice to serve.
