Tips:

  • Selecting the right apples is crucial. Choose firm, tart apples like Granny Smith or Braeburn for a well-balanced flavor.
  • To achieve a golden-brown crust, brush the top of the tart with an egg wash before baking.
  • Don't overcrowd the tart pan. Leave some space between the apple slices to allow for even cooking.
  • If the edges of the tart start to brown too quickly, cover them with aluminum foil.
  • Let the tart cool for at least 15 minutes before serving. This will allow the filling to set and the flavors to develop.

This classic French apple dessert is a delicious and versatile treat that can be enjoyed for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. With its simple yet elegant presentation, it is sure to impress your guests.
