The most beautiful apple tart I've ever made

It's almost a shame to cut it.

Better shove it down at once.

Would you believe me if I told you it also tasted absolutely delicious? We invited some friends over and devoured the entire thing
- Nope, wouldn't believe you at all. You should make another and send it to me so that I can judge for myself.

Beatiful! But don't hold it sideways, it'll fall!

Hehe okay genuine question as I am new to Lemmy.... why do some of my photos upload sideways?
- I have no clue, sorry. Not really a tech person, jsut here for silly jokes

Remember Austin Powers, “who throws a shoe?” Well, seriously, who downvotes a tart? Honestly.

Did it taste as good as it looks! It looks fantastic OP!

It actually did taste incredible. I essentially frankensteined 3 recipes together and made some tweaks. It was eaten in under an hour haha

That looks gorgeous! I saw in another comment that you used a mandolin to slice the apples - you’re braver than I am. I have one, but I’m terrified of it 😅

They have finger guards for them! Don't be afraid, they smell fear. You can't slice all the way down, obviously, but the scraps can be used re: that comment I made earlier
- Hahaha, I’ll think about it (or, more likely, cajole my spouse into doing it for me)
- I have a dumbass/odd question: are mandolin slicers adjustable and could they be used to slice bagels? I need my bagels cut into 3rds or 4ths, not in halves.

That IS a beautiful tart!

👏👏👏

That's absolutely gorgeous! Nice work!

So fancy looking 🌹 How was it? Are the apple "petals" a crispy texture?

Yes they're somewhat crips because I used honeycrisp and granny Smith apples

Beautiful FoodArt!

aaand now I crave apple tart. lol That looks amazing, nice work!

Recipe?

Good job, looks amazing!

You did it!! Wow!

Looks beautiful and delicious!

The fact that the photo is rotated by 90° confused the heck out of me at first. The background looked like something an AI created where the longer you look at it the less sense it makes.

Beautiful tart btw, holy smokes.

Thank you! I'm not sure why they rotate haha
- I notice that lots of photos posted to Lemmy are rotated by 90° and I’m wondering what the reason is, I doubt it’s coincidence.
  
  Is it possible that you took the photo 90° rotated and corrected it afterwards? It seems to me like this correction is gone. If yes, how did you correct the orientation of the photo?

Wow how?

Is there some custard in the base of that? Or maybe frangipane? Or are you a madlad and went for 100% apples?!

100% apples my friend. I used a mandolin to slice the apples so that they were thin and uniform, but its hard to slice ALL of it right? So I took the little left over slivers, chopped them down, and cooked them into a soft apple pie filling with some sugar, lemon, a splash of white wine. Then I spread that into the par-baked crust before arranging the slices on top as you see. It made it taste really good, I'm glad I did that, but it was sort of something I came up with on the spot
- Nice. Both resourceful and creative. Thanks.
