This week's Tuesdays with Dorie recipe was chosen by Jessica of My Baking Heart, and you can find the recipe here.
Yes, you have found me once again eulogizing puff pastry in all its glory, as if the world needed one more reason to love the stuff. Hello, Parisian Apple Tartlet! From a distance it appears almost generic, even mundane, merely a hunk of apple and some dough. It assembles in a flash and reveals no pretentious motives hinting at greatness. But somewhere during the baking process a metamorphosis occurs, taking this dessert from humble beginnings to celebrity status.
Freshly out of the oven, tender Gala apples crown a flaky, buttery pedestal while caramelized brown sugar nestles in all the crevices, puddling beneath the apples. Simple, yet extravagant. It could easily accommodate a dollop of whipped cream or sprinkling of cinnamon, but neither is necessary because it is perfect just the way it is.

This is beautiful! What an elegant dessert. I bet the pudding part was fantastic!
I need more desserts like that in my arsenal. Easy but delicious and seeming like you spent forever on it!
Oh my gosh, you make this sound like royalty. I will be doing this! Great post.
Yum! That looks great - and I totally love puff pastry. I use it all the time - mostly because I have yet to teach myself to make homemade pastry ;)
You're so right about how a simple dessert can transform itself! Your Parisian Apple Tartlet looks soo appetizing! I'm not a big fan of baked fruit but this was really tasty paired with the puff pastry!

Looks really fantastic! Simple and delicious!
