Day 11

Quick Apple Tatin Tartlettes

i don't know why one of these tartlettes looks so much nicer than the other one.


so we'll look at the nicer one. this one starts out upside down. i made caramel and poured it in the bottom of a tartlette pan, topped that with apple slices, then put a disk 0f pate sucree on the top. the whole thing gets baked, and when it's done, it is flipped out so the caramel sauce is now on the top. the whole thing tastes kind of like the best thing you would ever ever eat at a fair.



Caramel Nut Tart

the outside looks innocent enough, right?


but inside, there is a caramel walnut mixture. the topping is almond cream. it all gets baked.

the whole thing strangely reminds me of tollhouse pie (the best tollhouse pie ever in history). it makes me want to drizzle chocolate over it. lucky for me, i still have almost a whole chocolate ganache tart. maybe i can just eat a slice of one alternated with a slice of the other. seriously though, the filling on this one is really nice.
