Tuesdays with Dorie: Parisian Apple Tartlet

      This week's Tuesdays with Dorie recipe, from the cookbook Baking:  From My Home to Yours by Dorie Greenspan is Parisian Apple Tartlet, can be found on page 319, and was chosen by Jessica of My Baking Heart.  If you would like to try the recipe before buying the book, click on Jessica's site above and she will have it posted today. 

 

      This little tartlet was so good and so simple.  It takes about 5 minutes to assemble, using a prepared puff pastry crust which is used to make circles of dough topped with a half of an apple (peeled, cored, and cut into fourths), sprinkled with brown sugar, dotted with a little butter, and placed into the oven.  

      It cooks for approximately 30 minutes. 

      The tart is good alone or with a little ice cream helper, or in Mark's case, a lot of ice cream helper.   

 

 

 

 

 

        There are endless possibilities for changing and mixing up the filling and fruit for this little tartlet. 

      The taste:  unbelievably lovely.  Mark thought it was great and my other usual tasters were occupied elsewhere, but I have no doubt they will love it. 

      I will make this again, and again, and again...a perfect hot apple dessert. 

      Next week's recipe was chosen by Tommi of Brown Interior, is Honey-Peach Ice Cream, and can be found on page 437.
