Pomme lovers, this one’s for you! We’ve got an easy, yet mouth-watering recipe for a classic French dessert - Croustade aux Pommes. With flaky pastry layers and a soft, warm apple filling, this dessert is sure to tantalize your taste buds. Start by preheating your oven to 375°F. While that’s going on, let’s take a closer look at the ingredients you’ll need for this recipe. You’ll need: - 4-5 tart apples, thinly sliced - 1/2 cup granulated sugar - 1/4 cup all-purpose flour - 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon - 1/4 tsp ground nutmeg - 1/4 tsp salt - 2 tbsp unsalted butter - 1 package refrigerated pie crusts (2 crusts) - 1 tbsp milk Once you have everything prepped, it’s time to get started. Firstly, in a mixing bowl, toss the sliced apples in flour, sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and salt. Make sure to coat each apple slice thoroughly. In a large pan, melt the butter over medium heat. When the butter has melted down, add the apple mixture and cook until the apples are tender and coated in the sugar and spices. Then, unroll one of the pie crusts and place it in a lightly greased pie dish. Next, spoon the apple mixture over the pie crust, ensuring that the filling is spread evenly. Finally, unroll the second pie crust and place it over the apple mixture. Trim and fold the edges to create a seal, then brush the top pie crust with milk. Now, it’s time for the oven. Bake the Croustade aux Pommes for around 50 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the filling is bubbly. Voila! Your Croustade aux Pommes is ready to be served. We recommend serving warm, with a dollop of fresh whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Oh, wait. We almost forgot to mention.
