What's tarte au pomme? Don't kow if i'm spelling it right but i think it's to do with apples?

Question

If you have a genuine recipe of your own so i can pass it on to my wife

Answer 1

Hey! It's tarte aux (X for plural) pommes (S for plural) but never mind that !!! French is not the easiest language to learn so i'll move on with the recipe? My grand-mother (French) passed on to mum then me and my daughter has it as well so you asked for a genuine recipe? Here goes!But!!! Why let your wife make it when you can do so yourself! And don't worry i'll give you the easy option (Dough)

1 sachet of shortcrust pastry (See you can do that)
1 lb of good apples! Don't go for cheap ones or cooking apples but for the best you can find. I suggest Pink Ladies.
3 egg yolks
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tub creme fraiche (Small one)
A little milk

First lay the dough on a floured board, roll it with rolling pin (Don't forget to flour it as well otherwise it will stick) I prefer to make my lown dough but hey! Giving you the easy option)

Line your tart dish (Don't use a deep one) with a little flour so it won't stick.

Lay the dough on it, apply sides against the dented edges and, dispose of the surplus

Peel and core apples. Cut them into chunks, not too small! But not too big either, say you use a large apple, you can make 4 chunks with a half)

Arrange them on the dough.

Separate eggs (You only use the yolks remember) and in bowl, beat the yolks with a little milk, add sugar then creme fraiche.

Pour over your apples and stick the lot in a pre heated oven (250). leave for 30 minutes, remove and let it cool.

Serve cold with a nice cup of coffee!

While it's in the oven ... Clear table, wash dishes, sweep kitchen flloor, mop then let to dry as well.

When your wife comes in .... Welcome her to a clean kitchen with a fresh cup of coffee, tarte aux pommes and a smile!

I gather you were only interested in the recipe but i really think that, as a man, you should learn to cook/bake the way we women do! It entails preparaing, cooking/baking and cleaning up after.

Bon appetit!!!!

Answer 2

You're right - it is apple pie.

It is slightly different to either English or American apple pie, and has that French Je ne sais quoi.

The French use a pastry base the same shape as a quiche - so use a quiche base and you can buy pastry that you just roll out. Then add the apples, which you've cooked with a little lemon and sugar, and cook according to the instructions on the pastry.

Supermarkets like Sainsbury's make a good one, so you could just buy theirs.......or you could try a French Cookery Book. Sorry I haven't got a recipe, but you could devise your own and call it:

"Tarte au pomme a la speciale de la maison.........." and put your name in it. That would be pretty impressive!

Answer 3

It's an open top glazed apple pie...

Ingredients

- a pie crust, preferably homemade
- 3 big apples, preferably Granny Smith
- 1/2 cup of good quality apple sauce
- 1/4 cup of sugar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons butter, cut into small pieces
- 2 tablespoons apricot jam (optional)

Preparation

- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.

- Peel and cut the apples in quarters. Core and cut them in very thin slices. Place them in a large bowl as you go, and press some lemon juice to prevent them from turning brown.

- Unfold the crust in a pie dish and blind bake it for about 10 minutes.

- Spread the apple sauce on the crust, then arrange the apple slices like on the picture. Sprinkle the sugar and the butter over the apples and bake until the apples are tender, about 50 minutes.

- For the glaze, dilute the apricot jam with a teaspoon of warm water and use a brush to spread the mixture on the apples.

The tart is better served warm, but is very hard to resist the urge to pick some slices while it is cooling down. My advice? Go ahead and help yourself! And if you pick the ones in the centre, no one will notice anyway...

Answer 4

Apple Tart

Answer 5

It's a tart with an apple..So next time you head down the street and you see the tart with a bag of apples..shout out.

U pomme d'fart.

Answer 6

this recipe is more simple than the others, but i am french and can assure you it's a good one!

if you can't make the pastry then buy a ready-rolled circle of shortcrust (i usually do) lay it over the flan dish (a non stick one with a detachable base) the apples (2-3 bramleys should be enough, they are big and are definitely the best for this tart) should be cut into 1/4 slices about 1cm thick (any thinner and the apples will become mush, it's good for them to retain a little 'bite' lay them on the pastry in circles. heat 2 tbsp apricot jam with 1 tbsp unsalted butter on a low heat until liquid. pour this over the apples. bake in oven until pastry is cooked and apples look a little brown (about 15min on 200C) very easy, it takes me about 5 mins to make plus baking time. bon appetit!

Answer 7

Well I was going to answer this but reading through all the mentions of apple pie has made me hungry and now I'm going to go and make a nice tarte tatin...or upside down apple pie yo you!

Answer 8

Its Apple Pie! Tarte is french for pie

Answer 9

I should have tarte aux pommes - it's more appley!

By the way, 'tarte tatin' is much better! Upside down apple pie, gently caramelized.

Answer 10
