One of the most classic desserts in France, now deserves the place of honor in your homes! This simple-looking but super-tasting cake resembles a thin pie or apple tart with cream.
What is French Apple Tart?
The exact origins of French apple tart, or "Gâteau aux Pommes," are difficult to trace, but the dessert is deeply rooted in French culinary traditions, where baking with seasonal fruit is common.
The cake has diced apples (with the skin) and dark rum for a richer flavor. This cake doesn't have the classic fall flavors like cinnamon or nutmeg. Sweet apples, balanced with dark rum, provide all the fall flavor needed.
But there is a secret ingredient that a famous chef uses in this cake to give it that magical touch of French recipes: apple cider vinegar.
French Apple Tart Recipe:
- Place the diced apples in a bowl and add two tablespoons of vinegar to prevent the fruit from ripening and to emphasize the taste. The acidity of the vinegar helps balance the taste.
-Use melted butter because the flavor it gives the cake is fantastic. Cold butter according to French chefs is not an interesting find.
-Don't be afraid to use a variety of apples. Tart or sweet baking apples (or a combination of both) are an easy way to adjust the flavor in this cake.
- The way you serve it is very important, whether you will serve it cold or at room temperature. Vanilla ice cream, caramel, or powdered sugar as accompaniments create a perfect combination of flavors for apple cake.
"This simple but amazing apple tart is my favorite," says Chef John.
We have no doubt that it will become a favorite in your home as well.
