Recipe Review: Apple Tart

Introduction

This is a fun recipe that is deceptively time-consuming. While this recipe is best in the fall when apples are at their peak, it can still be done any time of year. Despite there being no particularly complex techniques or equipment, you will need a full day or 2 partial days to make this. The end result is a great tart that anyone would like. Definitely worth doing.

Making The Apple Compote

Tip 1: Use a larger saucepan (not a medium as recommended), otherwise you will need to let it cook longer for each step.

Tip 2: Make sure to go by indicators when cooking and not by times. It would not be uncommon for many of your times to vary by 5+ minutes or even 10.
