French Country Apple Tart

by:




The first time I made this dessert was in 1992, and after a 22 year hiatus, I decided to give it a go again last weekend. Surprisingly, I remember my very first attempt with great clarity. I was 16 years old, had recently finished school exams and invited some friends over for a meal when my parents were away. I bought a copy of French Cooking Made Easy - in a local bookshop (now closed down, sadly), and found the recipe there. I remember it being challenging to say the least but certainly satisfying based on the appreciation received on the end result. Sadly, I mislaid my original copy (over the years I have moved around a fair bit) and by chance, managed to track down a second-hand copy online. My memories came flooding back and I did not have any excuse not to make it again.
