If an apple a day keeps the doctor away, then this week's Tuesday with Dorie pick by Leslie of Lethally Delicious is just what the doctor ordered. She chose Dorie's Tarte Fine, comprising a sheet of puff pastry topped with paper thin apple slices and sugar, and glazed with apricot jam.
My Tarte Fine was perhaps not so fine, because I wasn't going to get out my mandolin to shave off thin apple slices, and my knife-cut slices were perhaps not as thin as Dorie intended. But hey, with ingredients like this, how can you go wrong - it tasted great regardless. It is best served warm with a scoop of vanilla icecream.
Thanks to Leslie for hosting us this week - she will have the recipe. To check out everyone else's tartes fine, visit out the TWD blogroll.
Pshhh, whatever you did to those apples, this looks delicious :) It's getting pretty cool here, so this would make an excellent fall dessert!
ReplyDeleteHehe I know what you mean. Getting out the mandolin is a bit of a production for me too (it's in the back of the cupboard :P ). Still it looks lovely!
ReplyDeleteI've not gotten to this yet-hopefully later tomorrow. Your tart looks delicious!!!!
ReplyDeleteI don't think I got mine right, either, but I agree that it was delicious. You'll just have to take my word for it. as my post isn't up yet.
ReplyDelete:)
I had some beautifully thin slices and some ungainly ones. The luck of the draw.
ReplyDeleteYours looks just right to me.
Beautiful tart! I would have thought you used a mandolin, your slices look so uniform. Thanks for baking with me this week!
ReplyDeleteI think I'd prefer a Tarte Chunk anyway.. something to sink your teeth into properly. Looks good and yes am sure with a massive scoop of ice cream would be a perfect dessert!
ReplyDeleteI love your tarte..great looking apples!!
ReplyDeleteI didn't shave mine, I sliced them as thin as I could.
ReplyDeleteLooks more rustic that way.
It looks great too. I'm picturing it hot with the ice cream melting all over it. Better go eat some breakfast.
ReplyDeleteI think yours is beautiful. Love the way the crust rose around the apples!
ReplyDeletei figured that there was a problem when i cut my apple quarters easily into 7 slices and they still had thickness to them. but i was already an apple in before i noticed, so i went with it. still tasted great!!
ReplyDeleteThis was such a fun dessert. I will make it again soon!
ReplyDeleteMmmm lookes devine!
ReplyDeleteAnother winner methinks : )
looks amazing and love the butterfly cookies
ReplyDeleteYour tart looks great! I didn't even think of the mandolin to slice the apples. I ate the thicker slices!
ReplyDeleteThis one was great, wasn't it? I am afraid of mandolines so I gave mine away long ago. I like the rustic look anyway!
ReplyDeleteWow, that sounds delicious! And your rendition turned out quite beautiful too. Your slices look just fine.
ReplyDeleteLooks great! I have TONS of apples that need to be used so this is perfect.
ReplyDeleteI loved this wonderfully easy and impressive dessert.
ReplyDeleteGreat time of year here too.

The tart looks terrific! Your really can't go wrong with this one, so yummy.
ReplyDeleteCiao ! The tart looks great I would love a slice right now !
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to try this recipe. It looks so good and so easy. Like Jess, I'm a bit afraid of mandolins, so I'll be slicing my apples by hand!
ReplyDeleteMandolin slices are very pretty but the tool is dangerous so I only use when I absolutely have to. I love apple tarts - this one looks rustic and delicious.
