My favorite apple pie. The apples are Galas, I believe.
The crust is my standard pâte brisée (short crust) made with butter. We served it with a bit of sweetened cream. Yum!

Tarte aux pommes
Apple pie is probably my favorite dessert, followed closely by a perfect strawberry tart. I made this apple tart on Friday to serve as my birthday cake. The filling is a compote of apples made with cognac, ground cinnamon and cloves. Over that I arranged the apple slices. The top is painted with an apricot glaze.
