Easy Peasy Lemon Cheesy Apple Tarts!

This rustic apple tart is fantastic and so simple to make.



Granny Smith Apples add just the right kick.

To the  apples I added lemon juice, cinnamon and sugar.

Next I layed them out and topped them with apricot-pineapple jam, and a sprinkle of course salt. I brushed the pie crust with egg and also sprinkled that with sugar. ( I used ready made crust which comes with two pie crusts. )

 Using parchment paper and a baking/pizza stone works very well. It makes the crust nice and crisp.



It's ready to go in!

And there you have it!

Crisp, golden, tart and sweet!

This is my kitchen supervisor.

He recommends adding ice cream... typical.

There was another tart I've been wanting to make also.

A combination of sweet and savory.

This one deserves a glass of white wine.

It is baked brie cheese with apricot-pineapple jam and fresh gala apples.
A perfect appetizer.

 Start with some delicious brie.



Then brush the jam over it. I really like this jam. Don't be worried about it tasting tropical, the pineapple just adds sweetness. So good.

 And that's how you do that!

So flaky...

Happy Eating!
