TWD - Apple Galette

This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe is Apple Galette. This simple free form fruit tart is the epitome of delicious. 

A flaky, crispy galette dough encases delicious sliced apples sitting on a bed of apple sauce. The apples are glazed with honey post- bake.

I didn’t make my own apple sauce - I just used the jarred variety. I used Granny Smith apples in the filling.

I really enjoyed this scrumptious tart - the pastry was lighter and crispier than apple pie dough, and was the perfect vehicle for the juicy sliced apples.

TWD - Morning Bundt Cake

This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Morning Bundt Cake. It is so called because it contains lots of breakfast ingredients - muesli, yoghurt, orange juice, dried fruit and nuts.

This recipe makes quite a large cake, but it’s big and beautiful. The hot cake is brushed with a citrus juice syrup, which emphasises the orange flavour from the orange chunks and zest in the cake.

I really enjoyed this cake - much more than I thought I would. The tea towel my cake is a displayed on was a gift from a friend’s New Zealnd trip and it is beautiful.

TWD - Fig and Goats Cheese Tart

This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Fig and Goat’s Cheese Tart.

You can see there are no figs here - I used one of the alternative fruits suggested by Dorie, pears, as figs are not in season here. I did find imported figs - but 6 figs were going to cost $31!!

This tart comprises a short crust tart shell filled with a goats cheese and yoghurt filling, topped with baked diced pears and fresh diced vinegarised pears.

The filling is delicious and quite versatile - sans the salt and pepper, it would go well with sweet fillings too.

TWD - Buttermilk-Molasses Quick Bread

This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe  is Buttermilk-Molasses Quick Bread.

In my case, it’s actually Soured Milk-Maple Syrup Quick Bread. 

 This is a savoury quick bread, containing spices such as star anise and fennel.

It also contains an array of flours, including rye flour and whole wheat flour.

This quick bread was good served sliced with lashings of butter.

TWD - Caramel Crunch-Chocolate Chunklet Cookies

 This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Caramel Crunch-Chocolate Chunklet Cookies. There is no actual caramel in these cookies - just caramelised sugar and butter with walnuts and chocolate chunks.

These cookies are baked in a muffin tin after being cut from a dough log, to help give them a round shape.

They were tasty cookies, and if you are a fan of chocolate chip cookies, you will likely like these.

TWD - Alsatian-Style Blueberry Tart

This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Alsation-Style Blueberry Tart. A shortcrust pastry shell houses blueberries and a creamy custard.

It’s as delicious as it sounds. To see what everyone else made this week and their thoughts on it, visit the LYL section of the TWD website.

TWD - Parfait-Layered Vacherin

This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Parfait-Layered Vacherin. This is a frozen dessert featuring layers of creamy parfait and meringue, topped with caramel sauce and toasted almonds.

Although I would have preferred to buy my meringues and caramel sauce, I couldn’t buy either at my local shops, so I had to make them.

I made a third of the recipe to get two single serve vacherins. 

This dessert was delicious, but unless I could buy the meringues and caramel sauce, I wouldn’t make it again.
