RECIPE: PICARDIE APPLE TARTE / TARTE AUX POMMES
Ingredients:
Serves 4–6 people
- Pâte Brisée
- 1½ cups (225 grams) Applesauce
- 6–8 Granny Smith or Golden
- Delicious apples, peeled and cored
Preparation:
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a shallow 10- inch (25 cm) round pie tin with pâte brisée. Cut off any excess crust around the edges and use fingers to mold crust to fit the perimeter of the pie tin. Spread a layer of apple compote on the bottom of the pie tin, distributing evenly. Slice apples into uniform size pieces and use them to create a spiral design starting from the center of the tin and expanding outward until all space is covered (the apple slices can overlap a bit). Bake 25–30 minutes, until dough is cooked through and apples are golden. Serve immediately, with Crème Anglaise.
