I love a good tart. Once I managed to get past letting puff pastry intimidate me and realized how simple it is to use, I’ve created quite a few. This sweet and savory one was created for my client L&M Companies Produce a while back and is featured on their web page here!
Realizing it’s Apple Pie Day, and this is the closest thing to an apple pie in my repertoire, I decided to share this recipe with you too. It’s basically a flat open faced apple pie I do suppose.
You can enjoy this as an appetizer, as a side dish, and pairs nicely with a salad for lunch. Or as an adventurous and outside-the-box dessert with coffee too.
I hope you will make this tart… and will come over to my facebook community where we’ll chat about this and all sorts of other goodies too.
