Creamy Apple Tart

April 9, 2014 By Manu 7 Comments

Creamy Apple Tart

It is autumn down here… and it’s also been quite rainy in the last few weeks.  So, what better way to cheer the family up than baking a cake?  And being autumn, it had to be an apple cake!  I make all sorts of apple cakes and tarts, like my Apple Tart (one of the very first recipes I ever published on Manu’s Menu!), or my Apple Crostata with Steusel Topping and I like them all.  I think there is no better cake than an apple cake to make you feel loved, cherished and warm inside.  It is comfort dessert at its best.  Just what we need on a rainy day.  This tart in particular is very unusual.  It is somewhat in between an apple cake and an apple clafoutis, both in consistency and taste.  It is creamy, but at the same time, the apples (and there’s LOADS of apples in here!) add a bite to it.  A really special find and a cake I will be making often.  It is perfect with a cup of hot tea and it will surely put a smile on your face and make you feel like the sun is out again… hopefully! 😉  Enjoy and don’t forget to enter my giveaway for a chance to win a Hamper full of Barilla’s goodies… just 2 days left!

    A friend of mine gave me an almost identical recipe ages ago and I was obsessed with it for a while. Thank you for reminding me because I haven’t made it in ages and don’t even know where the recipe is. I love the creaminess you mentioned, it is so unique!
