1. 1

   TO MAKE THE PASTRY (FOOD PROCESSOR): put the flour, oatmeal, sugar and salt into a food processor and process just once to mix.

2. 2

   Cut the butter into small pieces, add to the flour mixture in the food processor and process again only briefly, just until the mixture resembles rough breadcrumbs.

3. 3

   Add the finely grated orange zest and, with the motor running. pour in enough orange juice, processing very briefly, for the dough to begin to stick together.

4. 4

   Pat the pastry into a ball, cover it with plastic wrap and leave it in the refrigerator to chill while you prepare the apples.

5. 5

   Put the marmalade and honey into a bowl with the ground cardamom seeds.

6. 6

   Stir together, and spread the mixture over the bottom of the buttered cake pan. Arrange the apple slices neatly overlapping in the pan.

7. 7

   Carefully roll back the pastry over the rolling pin and place it on top of the apples in the pan.

8. 8

   If the pastry should break at all, don't worry, simply press it together again.

9. 9

   Press the overlapping pastry edge down into the sides of the pan and pierce two holes in the top to allow the steam to escape.
