This French tart tastes delicious and very authentic. The rum and apricot adds a beautiful flavor to the apples. However, the sugar that runs off and burns isn't very delightful. The burning apple juices, butter, and sugar filled my kitchen with smoke and stuck to the pan. If it wasn't for the mess, I would give this recipe 5 stars.

Ok, I've made this three times and each time the butter soaks under the pastry and burns the edges (using parchment paper. It seems to be a good recipe, but not spectacular. I don't think there will be a fourth try. :(

This recipe was wonderful. The homemade pastry was definitely worth the extra effort. Usin the food processor made it very easy. Slicing up the apples was the most time consuming part. Although Ina suggested peeling the apples, I left the peels on. Still very delicious. I only had spiced rum on hand so I used that - wonderful flavor with the apples. It was a great experience having everyone simultaneously close their eyes while tasting it and collectively say "oh wow...!" I'm not an accomplished dessert maker so this was a big boost for me. Thank you, Ina!

Made it with store bought puff pastry, thought it was a bit bland, needed some cinnamon.

It was a success. Every one said it wa delicious. I used Rum instead of Calvados and I served it with French Vinella Ice cream. It was easy and really made the final touch for our dinner.

EASY! next time i think I'll pinch the edeges and use only about half of the glaze. Besides that, this pie was absolutely perfect! Just a helpful tip for newbies like myself: you can have the apples very close to each other (and especially each row of apple slicesbecause they'll spread out a bit when the pie dough spreads as it bakes. Thanks Ina~

I made this tart for the holidays. It was simply delightful. I thought I was in Paris. The flavor stayed in your mouth for long after the tart was consumed. This is the stuff dreams are made of.......I did not have the calvados so I used rum and, I also used preserves instead of jam. I am making again today.

this was absolutely delicious, and couldn't have been easier! the pastry was light and flaky and the glaze on top was a wonderful addition. we're definitely going to make this again for guests -- it's very impressive and looks like you are a master pastry chef!
