French Apple Tart

"For some Thanksgiving eaters, a perfectly cooked, artfully carved turkey makes the meal. For others, it’s just an obstacle standing in the way of the real feast: dessert. Either way, whether it’s the sweet or the savory side of Thanksgiving that piques your palate, our French Apple Tart will have you saying, More, s’il vous plaît! To create this masterpiece of a Tart, our supplier takes a buttery apricot and apple filling (made with sweet Northern Spy apples and tart Granny Smiths), nestles it in a shortbread crust, tops it with a fan of even more sliced apples, and finishes it with a light, apricot glaze. A thing of rustic beauty. Now, you might raise an eyebrow when you notice that our French Apple Tart is made here in the U.S.A., but before you raise that other eyebrow, consider this: the Master Pastry Chef who developed this recipe once made this exact tart—which is constructed and baked according to French tradition—for the President of France himself. Spoiler alert: he loved it."
