I love dessert. I don't think a dinner is really complete without some sort of dessert. It doesn't have to be sweet. It can be cheese. But I need something to complete a meal. So I made a rustic apple tarte for dessert on Sunday night to go with my roast chicken dinner. I think Daphne might think I'm a little nuts. Anyway, I thought I'd go with a really simple apple tarte. I started with a basic pie pastry recipe and rolled it out an put it on a cookie sheet lined with parchment. In the middle of that I piled up sliced apples seasoned with cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar and raisins. A little corn starch to soak up the liquid from the apples. Folded up the sides of the pastry and baked it four a little less than an hour in an oven at about 400. Loved it.
I agree (the dessert comment) and I will have to take this one for a test drive. I enjoy reading your work and looking at your photos.
