We had some friends and family over yesterday for a winter “picnic.”
So often we have people over for the holidays and then don’t get together much until Spring and Summer because of the cold, snowy weather.
Well – heck with that. I say celebrate it.
So while the snow fell to the tune of another 6 inches or more, we lit a fire, Marty plowed the driveway, and I made a big pot of creamy loaded potato soup, some fresh baked bread, and this super easy rustic apple tart.
We had a great time enjoying simple food and sharing stories of love and friendship. Such cherished memories!
If you are looking for a quick and easy, but beautiful dessert, here’s the recipe:
Easy Rustic Apple Tart
Ingredients:
1 Sheet Frozen Puff Pastry, thawed
2 large apples, cored and sliced paper thin (with a mandolin is easiest)
1/2 lemon, juiced
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
Directions:
Preheat oven to 415 degrees F.
In a bowl, mix together sliced apples, lemon juice, sugar and cinnamon. Let set for 5-10 minutes.
Place puff pastry on baking stone (or baking sheet).
Curl up edges a bit and for circle (or simply leave in rectangular shape.
Place apples on top and bake for 18-20 minutes until puffed and golden brown.
Immediately remove to serving platter.
Sprinkle with powdered sugar, and serve plain or with whipped cream, ice cream, and or drizzle with caramel sauce.
Enjoy!
Happy Monday friends!
Cheers & Hugs,
Jodi

You bet I did! I also just discovered a recipe for a bread that incorporates caramelized onions, and uses mashed potatoes (I always have left over mashed potatoes.) I’ll let you know if that’s worth a try. Your posts are always inspiring, Jodi!

I looked at the recipe and it does look divine. No, it certainly wouldn’t be low calorie but worth it to have it ever once in awhile.
