French Apple Tart
I typically don’t waste my time on desserts that don’t include chocolate, but when I read about this French apple tart, I knew I had to give a try. I love baking when it’s cold outside and this rustic tart filled my apartment with such a lovely scent that lingered for hours. The crust came out flaky, but not too sweet and was balanced nicely by the apricot rum glaze that I brushed on at the end. Plus, since it included apples, I deemed it an appropriate replacement for my oatmeal breakfast served with a few slices of sharp cheddar cheese.

That looks delicious!
Heavenly.
How do you not eat the whole thing in one day when you bake?! I use to bake often, but had to give it up due to lack of willpower.

wow it looks so cozy especially in this warm fall weather.
Oh wow- I’m not a big fan of chocolate (I know, gasssp) but love anything with apples or cinnamon. I’m slightly disappointed the recipe lacks my favorite spice, but have no fear- if I made this, I’d drown it in an inch of cinnamon.
Wait. If I made this? WHEN I make this. *runs!*

Gosh, this looks so amazing. I love apples!!!
Oh this looks scrumptious! I love how the French make their deserts, they are always so amazing! Never understood how the French are still such a slim nation though!
As a french girl I must admit your french tart is perfect!
Reading all your DIY I wonder: Is there something you’re unable to do?
Yum that looks like my favourite kind of breakfast too! hee hee. Sure it is healthy enough with all those apples.
The apricot rum glaze sealed the deal for me- I’m going to have to make it soon, especially since I went apple picking last weekend and have tons of apples I need to use up now!
why would u eat it with cheese? lol id eat it for breakfast but probably not with cheese
Uhmmm! Rich, apples

Brilliant breakfast! I think an apple dessert will be on my agenda for the weekend. However, I may just do simple baked apples and ice cream.
This looks perfectly delicious! I haven’t baked anything in awhile, and this makes me want to hop back into the kitchen! Perhaps this weekend!!

That looks very good. Whenever I see apple tart or apple deserts like this it reminds me of German Village in Columbus.

yum. i love apple pastries of any kind. or apple cakes. with custard! yum
I just discovered your blog and I love it.
This pie is really yummy. You find it in bakeries in France, but it’s better when u do it yourself.
Did you ever tried a tarte tatin? The tart is cooke upside down: any fruits (sweet) or vegetables (salted) underneath the pastry. Fruits or vegetables remain soft because the pastry trap their humidity. No addition of cream cheese or other things like that. Only spice or sugar to caramelize the fruits.
