Cut pastry shapes out of the extra pastry, if you like and use them to decorate the edges of the tart, Don’t put them in the centre or they will sink. Bake for 30 minutes and then check the tart, it should have a slight wobble in the centre, Cook for another 10 minutes if it’s too runny. Beat the double cream until thick and then beat in the maple syrup. Serve with the pie.

Testimonials
I had agonised about Robert’s future and wondered what would happen if he remained living with me until I died or became incapable of looking after him. However, with TLC he is able to live like any other man of his age, with his peers in a “lads’ pad”. He is able to access places and activities that he would not with me. His social skills and communication have improved and now he does not rely on me to anticipate his needs. I thought he would find it hard moving away but to see him now, I know he is in the right place, receiving the right level of care and living his life to the full. I could not be more grateful.
