Parisian Apple Tartlet – for Dorie
Posted by Amy Ruth | Filed under Desserts, For Friends, Fruit
That’s right Dorie. This one is for you, or maybe not. After having dropped off the radar for a couple of weeks imagine how excited I was to see such a straightforward little sweetie on our June schedule. Even though apples are typically a fall fruit, I thought this would really be a lovely trade out for summer fruits. Even a medley of peach, mango, blueberries. I love apricots too. Perhaps a sprinkling of chopped nuts.
Dorie, most of the TWD bakers all know you love to be in your apartment in Paris as often as possible. So what would a “Dorie Book” be without the near and dear to the heart, apple tartlet? Dorie introduces her Parisian Apple Tartlet as a version of a widely enjoyed little treat that can be eaten out of hand or elegantly plated. So make it your choice.
On one end of the tray is an apple tartlet, the opposite is an apricot & blueberry. The beauty of this delicious treat (I ate them both after Corbin photographed them…..shhhh) is the “bang for the buck!” These can be produced in a very short amount of time. Start to finish, a little more than 1/2 hour. Depending on the size of the fruit the recommended baking time may be a bit shorter. Now, if you keep your secrets to yourself you can present a very tasty and impressive sweet treat to an unsuspecting loved one. :-)
Thanks goes to Jessica of My Baking Heart for the palmsized sweet treat that I enjoyed eating tonight. She had the fun choice this week. You can get the recipe on her site as well. Get into that Baking From My Home to Yours cookbook by Dorie Greenspan if you have it on your shelf. If not ? Seriously, why don’t you? Thanks again Dorie for such a nice, homey little treat. It is way better than a donut!!!

Isn’t this such a great and easy dessert to prepare? We absolutely loved it. I might add a bit more sugar to mine next time. Yours look great as always, and I love the blueberries.

Very pretty Amy Ruth! Well done… just like the Parisians!!! If the ticket’s too expensive, bring the apple tartlet to you!

Love the choices with the berries! I won’t tell anyone you ate the tarts after the photos were taken…no worries!

I would like to try these with peaches. Like your berry tart.

These really were way better than donuts! I love both of your versions. It is so great to have a nice, simple, delicious dessert in the ol’ pocket. Great pictures!
Glad you’re back!

Lovely photos and the apricot blueberry sounds like a delicious combination. Definitely a good one to ease yourself back in the kitchen with.
June 9th, 2009 at 8:14 pm
Definitely better than a donut! =) I’m already thinking that I should make some more in different flavors. I bet my girls would like your apricot & blueberry version–I’ll have to remember that.
June 9th, 2009 at 9:11 pm
I love your variations! And those plates are beautiful! Glad you enjoyed the tartlets.

We’ve been missing you! I’m glad you were able to make this one and not have to share it! They both look amazing!
