Bon appetit! Lovelies,

I went to my local fruit shop and l discovered it’s the Apple season. I couldn’t think of anything other than Apple Tart . This classic combination of apples and pastry makes a perfect centrepiece of desert for entertainment in any setup.

I had this desert uncountable times in my Parisian days. You must trust the French patisserie. It’s heavenly. It was crispy and very delicious topped with some very delicious golden brown apples of the season.

This desert is always a winner with everyone. Loaded with delicious baked apples. If you are looking for a perfect desert to serve your family or friends, then look no further.
