French Apple Tart—Tuesdays With Dorie

TWD French Apple Tart 1-81-13

This week we got to make a true French classic for Tuesdays With Dorie—French Apple Tart.  I know there will be some beautiful tarts in the group

First a pie crust is made and put into a tart pan.  With my current cutting back on sweet treats, I decided to make two mini tarts (they were made in four inch tart pans).  For the applesauce layer, I cut the recipe in the book down to 1/6.  The recipe uses 6 apples, I just used one.  Then about half an apple for each of the top layers. 

This became an even easier task for me when I saw some pie crust dough in my freezer.  I didn’t write on the outside what crust it was, but decided to use it up.  It was probably a pate brisee' which is a simple short crust recipe/method I learned from Paige at For Love of the Table.  Yes, there was still a lot of crust leftover.  I made a quick peach pie with some canned filling I had.  My oldest son ate the whole thing within a couple days. 

I knew the French Apple Tart would be good, since apple pie is probably my favorite pie.  The few bites I had were great!  Love the soft applesauce layer on the bottom.  This would definitely be a wonderful show stopper of a dessert for company.

Gaye from Laws of the Kitchen is hosting this week and has the recipe on her blog.  You need this recipe in your file.  But I’ll say it again, you should have Baking With Julia in your cookbook collection.

I've never seen an apple tart like this with applesauce on the bottom and sliced apples on top! Shows you how familiar I am with French cooking. Your mini tarts are so cute!

Very smart to cut the recipe back so much. I struggled to break the dough down into 1/4's - I am not sure my brain could have handled further reductions :-)

Very nice!

So cute! Perfect portion control. I was surprised how much I loved the applesauce layer in this :)

That's a great idea to cut the recipe down. I always have to give most of my stuff away because I am a household of one, so I should bear this in mind. Your mini tarts look lovely - and bonus that you already had the dough ready to go.

Great looking mini tarts. Your pie crust looks perfect! I really liked the apple filling with the sliced apples on top. A nice change from a regular apple pie. I could have just eaten the apple filling it was so good! I am definitely making this again!

It's all about portion control! This was too good to miss in my opinion.

I love that you miniaturized these pies - they look fabulous! You can't go wrong with delicious golden, flaky dough, applesauce and baked apples.

I am loving the look, vibe and potential taste of this one. I have yet to taste that variant as there seems to be no similar products in this town. I may need assistance to bake this.

It can be very frustrating when your Verizon email does not work. Additionally, this problem can lead to issues like POP3 or IMAP4 server issues, email server issues, login credentials issues, and network connectivity issues. So, to solve the Verizon email problems, please ensure that your device is updated to the latest version. Further, you need to run a scan on your system and check if it has been attacked by malware or virus.
