TWD: Parisian Apple Tartlet

This week's Tuesdays with Dorie was the Parisian Apple Tartlet chosen by Jessica from My Baking Heart. We love apple pie and warm cinnamon apples and things like that. So when I read this week's choice I got excited. And then I realized just how simple it is and fell in love even more.


This was by far the simplest Dorie recipe yet. I used Pepperidge Farm Puff Pastry because I had a sheet left and really didn't feel like going out and hunting down Dorie's preferred brand. It tasted fine using the non-all butter one. I'm sure Dorie's brand would have been good, but you know me, I like easy. I actually ended up making 5 tartlets. The recipe is only for 1, but I knew at least 3 of us would be wanting one and I didn't have a use for extra Puff Pastry, so I just made extras. It only took 2 apples to do all 5 tartlets. Overall this was really good. TJ didn't like the puff pastry part, but loved the apples. I think a little cinnamon sprinkled with the brown sugar would have been tasty. The kids had theirs with cinnamon ice cream and said it was delish. Unfortunately for me, they polished off the ice cream so I didn't get to try it that way.

Love your tartlets - they look gorgeous! I love all things apple too, so this dessert ranks up there with my other favorites from Dorie.
