Easy as Pie Apple Tart
Since I had a half pound sheet of dough left from making my Gruyère Asparagus Tart, I decided to make my Easy as Pie Apple Tart. The hardest thing about making this dessert is cutting the apples into super thin slices. Oh, and to stop eating it. That is the really hard part.
Looks Like You Were in the Kitchen All Day
What I love most about this tart is that it looks so beautiful, your family and/or friends will think you spent a lot of time making it. You don’t have to tell them how easy it really is to make.
