Rustic Apple Tart


This tart is so popular that I keep making it and I can’t seem to keep any in my house.  A family friend ran off with half of it last time I made it.  And the super picky eaters where all over it.  That means it was a super hit.

Very simple recipe

1 rolled out pie crust
3 to 4 organic granny smith apples ( depending on the size of the apples sometimes I use 3 and other times I use 4 so have 4 just in case you need it)
1 cup slivered almonds
1/4 teaspoon  organic cinnamon 
1 tablespoon organic salted butter
2 tablespoon organic sugar  divided
1/4 cup orange marmalade

Directions:  Lay your pie crust out on a cookie sheet.  I like to use a silicone slip pad on my cookie sheet for no sticking results.  In a food processor put your nuts, butter, cinnamon, and 1 tablespoon sugar.  Pulse until all nuts are ground up in a consistent medium sand like texture. Place all of this mixture evenly on the pie crust.  Leave a 1 inch boarder all the way around the pie crust free of nut mixture.   Peel and core each apple.  Cut each apple into 8 slices.  Lay apple slices on the nut mixture in a circular pattern. Until you have covered the nut mixture with apples.  Warm orange marmalade, use a basting brush to  evenly coat all the apples so that they look glazed.  If you don’t use all the marmalade that is ok.  Just make sure that all the apples have a glaze over them.  Fold the one inch pie crust boarder over the top of the edge of the apples.   Take the other tablespoon of sugar and pat into the top of the folded edge of the crust.  Pre heat oven to 350 degrees and bake for 20-30 minutes until crust is just golden.  Let cool a few minutes and cut in triangles like a pizza.  Can serve warm or room temperature.  This is so easy and a true crowd pleaser.

    Taco Night

    I know Taco night is So easy.  I set mine up like a taco bar.  My kids love taco night, they request it since everyone gets a taco just the way they want. Make Bean Dip for taco night. 1 lb shrimp 1 lb ground sirloin 2 packages your favorite taco seasoning (preservative free) 1 package shredded mexican blend cheese head of organic iceberg lettuce 2 organic tomatoes 2 Avocados 1 jar your favorite salsa (preservative free) 6 or more taco shells tortilla chips 1 container sour cream organic I little side note I have found some great seasonings, salsas and taco shells that are made local and are preservative free.  Look around your grocery, you may find similar items. Directions Put beef and 1 package seasoning in skillet and break up while cooking until all meat is browned.  In another skillet put your cleaned shrimp with shell and tail removed.  Add other package of seasoning to shrimp and cook until shrimp are pink.  Heat taco shells in oven according to directions.

    I Have A Problem

     I am writing something other than a recipe today.  Because I wanted to let my readers know about my problem.  The pictures I post, most of the time are my own of the food I make. I try to post something I have recently made at home so, I can give my readers a fresh picture of my food.  So the dishes you see are my dishes.  I have two small sets that I have mixed together. After many years of being married, my dishes from when we got married are very few.  So when we made this last move I bought some dishes that were inexpensive but I really liked.  However these dishes get hot when I reheat food in the microwave.  So last year my mother-in-law gave me a nice gift card for my birthday to a department store.  So I used that to buy a really nice set of dishes.  They are supposed to be microwave and dishwasher safe. One day warming a piece of pizza in the microwave I hear a pop.  I open the microwave and the dish has cracked all the way across. It was only in the microwave 30 seconds.
