TWD: Parisian Apple Tartlet


I am always looking for the simplest recipes to try out when I have new cookbooks added to my collection. So I can't believe that I've waited this long to bake Parisian apple tartlet. It's one of the easiest and quickest recipes I've attempted so far!

Having said that, I attempted this recipe twice, because I was not satisfied with the result of my first attempt. I followed Dorie's instruction in the book and arranged 4 chunks of apple on the puff pastry, but it refused to puff up as nicely as the picture in the book. So I tried it out again by arranging thin slices of apple on the pastry. The tartlet looked slightly better than the first attempt but still not good enough. Anyway, it doesn't matter, the tartlet was really yummy and I will definitely bake it again!

Head over to Jessica's blog if you want to give the recipe a try, and don't forget to check out TWD blogroll!

Of course, everything is daintier, more whimsical here... everything is done with that certain je ne sais quoi, charming almost victorian flair! Very pretty Piggy!

I went with thin slices too - leave a bit more room on the edge, and it'll puff up quite nicely. Yours looks gorgeous though!

I'm always amazed at how meticulous you are, and how much attention you pay to the presentation of your food.
I am not a baker, but I like visiting your site just to admire your work. This tart looks easy enough, and I tried the recipe, and it turned out great.
We featured the recipe in The Star for a column that I contribute to...check it out at http://tinyurl.com/lsjcr2.
