Blame it on the increase of my work hours by 40%, the gazillion apples our trees have produced this autumn or my reluctance to leave a video reply (and my, did ck beg…): rather a tad late than never, I’d like to wish everybody a good new year. Hope you’ll be able to make a few of your dreams come true, at the very least buy a few pairs of awe-inspiring shoes. (Hey, I’m female! No matter how crappy my day has been, I can open my shoe cabinet and think to myself, “Well, life sucks, but my shoes do rock.”) Keep in mind, even if not everything works out as planned, you’re still better off than six billion other people.
This apple tarte’s for my sonny for simply making my day with his very sweet and flattering appraisal a couple of weeks ago after a car got into the wrong lane and almost caused a full-frontal collision while I was riding my motorbike (would likely have left me looking like that apple tarte though none of you would really know):

Thanks, Tiff. I’ll take a look at that site. Over here I mostly go by the Dr Oetker site and books as the recipes there are really tried and tested (as opposed to what one occasionally sees in magazines where the list of ingredients doesn’t match the supposed product outcome); a book on baking has also been published in English, and it provides imperial as well as metric measures.
This tarte’s fairly easy, yet a little time-consuming. I can post the recipe if desired.
