A Fancy French Apple Tart

About 3 weeks ago I went to a meeting at a friend's house and she served up a delicious French Apple Tart. It was just so lovely that I decided to make one as soon as I had an opportunity.

It so happened that while I was out shopping I saw a lovely tart pan with a removable bottom which makes it so much easier to remove the delicate tart after cooking. So I bought it and decided to make the tart for our lunch for the family on Mother's Day.

I looked up a recipe in my French cooking book, and Mike went out to buy the apples and the other things I needed. It wasn't difficult to make but I couldn't make out just why the measured ingredients didn't seem to quite fill the pan. It wasn't until it was cooking that I reread the recipe and saw that I had made an 8 inch tart in an 11 inch pan. No wonder I had had to use extra apples!!

As Mike says when he is woodworking” read twice, cut once” or as I will now say

“ read twice and very carefully, then cook once well and then enjoy “.

It was a very nice tart with just the right amount of sweetness in the tart.
