This was my first time attempting pastry dough, and I'm glad to say that Ina's recipe and instructions made it an easy first time! The crust came out perfectly flaky, buttery and delicious. The dessert as a whole was super yummy as well. I used Triple Sec in my glaze which complimented the other flavors nicely. I cooked the tart on my pizza stone, making the tart into a circle rather than a rectangle. It was beautiful! Served with a big scoop of Haagen-Dazs Dulce de Leche (caramel ice cream...To die for!

Simple and easy to make. My friends all thought I was a baking god! My square was not as perfect as her in her video however it looked almost just like the picture. 4 apples were perfect. I was in a rush too and didn't chill for the whole hour but let rest for 20 min and came out great!

I thought I would give making a tart a try and it turned out perfect. The crust was light and flakey, I am a beginner baker and pastry seemed a challange.
I will make this again for my family back home at the holidays.
I turned it up a notch as I didn't have apricote jam so I used orange marmalade..
WOW! it was wonderful. Thank you Ina for teaching us regular people how to cook.

My friends made up this term because my husband, Frank, cannot have sugar, so I find recipes and substitute Splenda for the sugar. I did that with this tart and it is fabulous. I even used sugar free jam. It is fast, easy and looks great.Try it you will just love it.

I've made it 3 times and each time it's a success. Once I didn't have apricot jam, so I used homemade muscadine jelly and it was great. Another time I added a crumb topping and that too was wonderful.

I made this last night and it was just fabulous! What a great very easy to make dessert. I always have Calvados to use for cooking or baking and the apple brandy brings out the apple flavor. I don't care for Granny Smith apples so I used Fuji and they held up great. Rember to keep the butter cold. If the butter warms the dough will get soft and sticky.

I feel like i've just been to a French bistro! This tart was so incredibly easy and oh, so impressive. My edges looked a little too far gone, but it was yummy caramel. Don't hesitate to try this recipe, it will make you look like a pro.

I made this apple tart for a dinner party last night, and it was a huge hit. One of my guests was a Francophile who just got back from Paris, and even she was impressed. As an added bonus, it can be made in advance (dough the night before, tart the morning of. I served it with a couple of different cheeses (blue, taleggio, and the flavors really complemented each other. I'm sure it wold be equally delicious with whipped cream or some really good ice cream. This is one of those recipes I'm going to keep in my arsenal for those times when I want to make a great impression without a lot of effort. A note about serving size: this serves 6 people *very* generously. It could easily serve 8 to 10 if paired with cheese or ice cream.
