Warm Apple Tarte

The Simple and Easy Pleasures of the Perfect Dessert

Every year, we go through the same scenario. It is my birthday, and I tell my wife that I want to cook my favorite meal. She wants to take me out, but what I want is a perfect steak frites with Bearnaise and a simple apple tarte. Lisa seems to think I don’t like desserts, but what I don’t like are cloyingly sweet ones. Most apple pies you find in bakeries are way too sweet. Try making this very simple tarte that allows the flavors of apples to shine through.

My earliest attempt at cookery began with the filleting of my sister's goldfish at age 2 and cooking my pet rabbits by age 7. Life has been downhill ever since.
