If life gives you lemons, make apple juice and make people wonder how the hell you did it.

This week’s Tuesday with Dorie recipe is Martine’s Lemon and Apple Tart. Martine is someone who only makes recipes once, so if you want to taste it again, you have to ask her for the recipe on the spot, and that is what Dorie did for this tart.
The tart comprises a sweet shortcrust tart shell filled with a mixture that incorporates lemon-zest flavoured sugar and lemon juice, and grated apple stirred through it.
Although this tart won’t win any prizes in the beauty stakes, it tastes devine! I was surprised when I first tasted it - it has a definite lemon zing which for me was the main flavour. This one is a definite keeper! I am glad Dorie rescued the recipe from being lost to history.
To see what the other Dorie bakers made this week, visit the LYL section of the TWD website.
I'm sure I gain weight every time I stop by! 😉 You always have something good and this looks fantastically delicious! We love that lemon flavor and I will be pulling out her cookbook again! Thanks!
ReplyDeleteThank you!
DeleteI see 3 apples in the recipe. What variety did you use, a sweet or tart one?
ReplyDeleteHi Pam, I think you can use whatever you have - I used pink lady.
DeleteOk, so what I salvaged of mine looks right. It's an odd looking tart, for sure. Tastes good (even mine!) though!
ReplyDeleteseems so unusual with grated apples, but sounds tasty and i look forward to making it!
