Cumnock Tart

A sweet variation of the Scotch pie, made with apples or rhubarb. It was originally made by an Ayrshire baker, Mr Stoddart, around 1920 and is presently made by Hugh Bradford of Glasgow, whose father was apprenticed to Mr Stoddart. It’s a hand-crafted, oval-shaped, double-crust individual tart with a sugary-browned surface and lightly burnt edges.
