I did pre-bake the tart shell a bit longer than the original recipe called for, maybe that is what kept it from getting soggy, who knows. I am sure that this tart can be baked with a "sweeter" varity of apples too. But I am sure that you have tons of other wonderful apple pie recipes that you use regularly that work much better for you! I would be curious to know which one is your favorite, I am always on the look-out for delicious apple pie recipes.<br />Have a great Wednesday and thank you also for the wonderful comment you left on my blog!<br />Andrea_TheKitchenLionesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05188562947486964076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502631322081207964.post-60948453144762467672013-01-22T20:09:04.013-07:002013-01-22T20:09:04.013-07:00You are definitely the pie queen, Kris!

I used Galas because that's what I had. I wonder if a combination of galas and grannys would be good - that whole sweet/tart combo like the marie helene's cake we made in FFwD. I think it would be fun to play around with this one. I was a little frustrated with the crust, but I don't think I put enough ice water in mine, but in the end it seemed to hold together. Regardless, your tart is beautiful and your apple slices are cut perfectly! I need to master your cutting technique.Elainehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528705304212511604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502631322081207964.post-45312164362575723642013-01-22T15:19:53.563-07:002013-01-22T15:19:53.563-07:00Sorry to hear this didn't quite work for you. ...Sorry to hear this didn't quite work for you. I think I had quite ripe granny smiths, and I added a good dose of sugar to help the topping caramelise, both of which probably helped. <br /><br />I made the tart a second time, and added dark chocolate and raspberry jam as an extra layer of filling. Some people liked it better as the flavour was punchier. But I also liked the apple puree on its own.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502631322081207964.post-91503381179325409442013-01-22T13:33:31.811-07:002013-01-22T13:33:31.811-07:00I'm so agree with you the apple choice isn'...I'm so agree with you the apple choice isn't good, I think it devalues the dessert, but I wasn't totally disapointed, just not exalted as I hoped for an apple tart. I'll probably make this recipe with some changes and could compare!!!<br />Anyway your tart looks beautiful!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09852481444876972486noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1502631322081207964.post-84441159520914774502013-01-22T12:03:47.125-07:002013-01-22T12:03:47.125-07:00I didn't find this too tart (no pun intended!)...I didn't find this too tart (no pun intended!), but I did find the flavor to be lacking.

I haven't baked mine yet (the pieces are in the fridge), and I was considering adding more sugar on top than the tsp or two called for. Mostly for caramelization purposes -- but it's good to know I can be generous with the sugar and it will likely enhance the final flavor.
