This week’s Tuesdays with Dorie recipe for Parisian Apple Tartlets was chosen by Jessica of My Baking Heart. I am going to keep this post short and sweet because I am in a bit of a rush. This recipe was super easy…but that is where my excitement for these tartlets ended. Although it’s simple and seemed to have a lot of potential, I was not a fan of this recipe at all! I made one small peach tartlet and one apple the pastry puffed up nicely, but the brown sugar became way too dark and fell off the tartlets. Once the sugar melted in the 400 degree oven, it burnt and made the bottoms of my tartlets very dark and not so tasty. I tried one bite of each and chucked them into the trash…I am glad I did not buy the fancy schmancy pastry dough. They did look really pretty, but next time I will leave the sugar off until the last few minutes. I am sure many people had success with this recipe…so, if you are interested in more Parisian Tartlets, head over to the Tuesdays with Dorie site! If ya want the recipe, check out Jessica’s blog. Have a great day and thanks so much stopping by!
I'm so sorry they didn't turn out how you wanted, but thanks for baking along with me this week! Your pictures are beautiful!! :)
Gorgeous.
It looks lovely…too bad it just wasn't for you as this is one very easy dessert. We all loved it here, so I feel a little sad that you didn't have such good luck with it. It looks nice on that plate!
Oh no! I'm sorry they weren't a hit for you. Luckily it didn't take long and you didn't pop for the expensive pastry! It sure looked pretty though;)
Well, they're really pretty even if you didn't end up liking them. There's always next week. And you're right – good thing you didn't spring for the expensive pastry!
we loved these! I think pear would be a great substitute or addition to the apples. :) Yours look delicious.
Well, that stinks! As you mentioned they did look pretty.
