Food Librarian - Parisian Apple Tartlet

For this week's Tuesdays with Dorie selection, Jessica of My Baking Heart picked Parisian Apple Tartlet on page 319 of Dorie's book, Baking: From My Home to Yours.

Sorry, my arms are really acting up so I can't type much tonight (need to go ice and rest them).

Food Librarian - Parisian Apple Tartlet Food Librarian - Parisian Apple, Pineapple and Peach Tartlet
Puff pastry, fruit, butter, brown sugar. It is so easy you think you are forgetting something!

I made my delicious and super easy tarts with Trader Joe's all-butter puff pastry. Some TWD bakers made their own puff pastry! I don't want to make it myself because I seriously don't want know how much butter is in puff pastry. :)

Food Librarian - Parisian Apple, Pineapple and Peach Tartlet
The Trader Joe's puff pastry comes in squares. I made 4 circles and two rectangles with the dough. This one has fresh pineapple and yellow peaches. Delicious!

Be sure to check out the other Tuesdays with Dorie bakers! Thanks for a great pick, Jessica! For the recipe, buy Dorie's fantastic book or check out Jessica's blog, My Baking Heart.

    Yum! They look absolutely scrumptious. I love pineapple so that tartlet is actually calling out my name. I really like the long rectangle shape, too.

    I always fondle the box of TJ puff pastry, but have never purchased it. Now that it has the FL Seal of Approval (and a thumbs up from many of your readers), I'll have to throw it in my cart.

    I also love the look of the long, skinny tarts.

    Ooh, I'll have to run to TJ's- all the other grocery stores wanted $6 for puff pastry?!?? Yours look fantastic!

    I didn't make my own puff pastry because I also like to just pretend all the butter is just not in there! Yours look great!

    Do you know how easy it would be for me to just eat those, especially the rectangle ones. Bite and chew all the way down. Those look awesome. I already knew I LOVED puff pastry, so I saw an inch or two on my hips and used phyllo cups. Still, love how simple this "recipe" is. I love Dorie for it. ;) Yours all look awesome!

    This looks great!!! I like thelongated ones, very creative and elegant!
    I also don't want to know the amount of butter in paff pastry, that's why I don't make it!

    Those long skinny tarts are very clever... I can picture them sticking up like out of a container like bread sticks on a buffet or something. Cuteness!

  55. CBJune 10, 2009 at 6:27 PM

    I love that first picture with the drip of brown sugar flavored melted butter dripping down the side. Mmmm... Now you got me all curious to try this next time with pineapple! Great job!
