    A treat... Yes, it's true. This recipe is delicious! I have been making it regularly for a long time: I got it from my mother, who in turn got it from a cooking card. By the way, it’s the same photo as in the magazine...

    My family really enjoyed this recipe. My suggestion: After baking the pastry, I sautéed my apple wedges in a pan with butter, caramelized them on each side, and the result is surprising.

    Variation for the dough This is the true and only apple pie, without any additions. Although I have left the region, the recipe for apple pie will always remain the same. My suggestion: However, for the pie crust, I use sweet shortcrust pastry. That is to say, for a large dish, I knead 250 g of flour, 125 g of butter, 4 tablespoons of sugar, and 1 egg.

    Tips My suggestion: If you want a crispy crust, you should pre-bake it. Add sliced almonds, then pour caramel over the tart at the end of cooking.
