I don't post about food too often, but I recently made a pie that I thought was beautifully designed. That is, nice to look at as well as to make, an elegance in its simple assembly. You don't need a pie pan and can bake it right on a cookie sheet, this Rustic Apple Tart.
First you make a crust dough on a piece of parchment, and using the rolling pin, roll toasted nuts right into it.
Then you pre-cook an apple filling, this one has about 6 small apples, dates and honey. Let it cool and plop in the middle of your crust.
Fold the edges up and over, forming a small bowl for the filling, patching up any tears.
Bake it for about 30 minutes! Looks beautiful and the hand-made look adds to its appeal. Voila!
