Apple Tart Day...

By Cheeno · Oct 18, 2008 · ·
  1. I baked my very first apple tart today. May not seem like such a big occasion in the normal run of things, but I've been wanting to bake one for years. Years! I'm a 43yr old man and have never baked anything bigger or better than a potato, much to my chagrin. Anyhow, my girlfriend, who LOVES baking and all things kitchen, suggested that I get my finger out and do what I've been pining to do since I used to sit as a child and watch my mother baking; mouth watering at the prospect of getting first taste of her apple and jam tarts. Best thing though, was how she'd use the scraps to bake a 'junior' tart, especially for me, though I often had to fight off my five jealous siblings to hold onto it. Anyway, I baked that tart today, and I'm about to head back over to my girlfriend's house to get me a slice of it, with double fresh cream. Yeah!

    Do you have any recipe tips on this delicious sounding tart?

    Um, yeah, apples, ha! No, I jest. To be honest, it was something of a fantasticly sensual blur of powder, butter, eggs, apples (the apples!), and amazing little tips that took me right back to childhood. Things like how to knead and roll the dough; how to powder everything so they don't stick; then placing the sliced apples in such a way as to create the 'pie' shape, before placing the dough on top and pinching it down with thumbs and a fork. Oh, I could go on but I'm sure you'll be satisfied knowing it was simply deelicious! We're finishing it off today with rasberry icecream. I know - horrible, ha!

    Congrats!!!!
    I wish I could enjoy desserts with fruit in them, but alas, I cannot. So I'm glad you enjoyed your apple tart, and I'm glad you finally made one!
