— Chef's Note —

"And raspberry jam and apple-tart." - Bifur

Bifur had it right! Apple tarts are excellent with raspberry jam.

I created this recipe based on what I imagined from reading the book. English apple tarts traditionally have no top crust, as in the instructions below.

The live-action film (The Hobbit - An Unexpected Journey) doesn't appear to show any apple tarts, but does briefly contain a shot of what looks to be an apple pie with a lattice top (which probably made for an easier prop!).
