The French don&#8217;t try to be better than their pastry chefs when they bake at home. They keep things simple. My favorite food writer,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/doriegreenspan.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Dorie Greenspan<\/a>She wrote about her life in France during the following: &#8220;No matter how chic the hostess, her homemade dessert invariably looked as rustic as if it had come from a farmhouse\u00a0<em>grand-m\u00e8re<\/em>.&#8221; The French lady might prepare this free-form apple tart at home. As an\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.onceuponachef.com\/recipes\/perfect-apple-pie.html\">apple pie<\/a>\u00a0Without the pan, it is a thin layer cinnamon-scented apple slices over a flaky buttery crust.<\/p>\n<p>Although I am sure that the thought of making a pastry crust can send people fleeing, this recipe is almost foolproof. It is easy to make and is quick to assemble in your food processor. The beauty of free-form tarts is the ease with which you can fold the dough over your fruit. This dessert is all about its imperfections.<\/p>\n<h2>How to Make a French Apple Tart<\/h2>\n<figure id=\"attachment_5099348\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/03\/localimages\/rustic-french-apple-tart-50.jpg\"><figcaption><\/figcaption><\/a> (Courtesy Jennifer Segal<\/figure>\n<p>A word of caution before we move on to the recipe: You might feel tempted to stuff the tart full of extra apples. However, less is better with this kind of dessert. You can let the juice from the apples seep into the pastry and cause a mess in your oven.<\/p>\n<p>Use apples that are suitable for baking such as Fujis Granny Smiths Jonagolds Jonathans Golden Delicious Galas or Honey Crisp. When cooked these apples retain their shape, while apples that are not suitable for baking turn into applesauce. This recipe calls for two kinds of apples.
