When I think about family meals, the first thing that comes to mind is my mom’s famous French apple tart. This simple and delicious recipe has been in my family for generations, and is a favorite among all of us. To make it, you just need a few basic ingredients and a bit of time. I love to make this tart at the weekend, when I have a bit more time to spend in the kitchen. The smell of the sweet apples and the buttery, crumbly crust is enough to make your mouth water!
This recipe is a great way to start your day, as it’s packed with nutrients and flavor. I usually serve it with a dollop of yogurt or a spoonful of honey for a touch of sweetness. Alternatively, you can enjoy a slice of this tart as a snack or dessert. It’s perfect for a special occasion or just a nice treat after dinner. No matter how you enjoy it, this tart is guaranteed to be a hit!
Tip: For a vegan-friendly version, substitute butter for vegan margarine or coconut oil.
Variations: For a more traditional French apple tart, add a tablespoon of brandy or a splash of rum to the filling.
