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).

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. :)

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.

Audrey said...

I was so happy to find the TJs puff pastry! And I love your rectangles! But I would love this in any shape, size, fruit...

Mary Ann said...

I bet the pineapple was delicious. They all look so good. I love the long rectangle tarts. Too cute.

eatme_delicious said...

Mmm all those tarts look delicious! Reminds me that I have some pastry to use up in the freezer.

Bec said...

Wow, these are beautiful. I heard Martha Stewart say once that it's not worth it to make your own puff pastry . . . I never have.

dharmagirl said...

oh, i just love those long, skinny rectangles of tart-ey goodness. yummm.

carmencooks said...

beautiful!! pineapple sounds wonderful, and I wouldn't have thought to use it. Next time. :)

SUGAR B said...

I love how fancy you made them!

And rest those poor arms! :)

Rachel said...

Love the rectangles--so elegant!

bakingwiththeboys said...

Those rectangles are far too cute for words. Looks great.

Jamie said...

The pineapple one made me drool! Beautiful!!!

justJENN said...

Love TJ's puff pastry. I keep it in my freezer at all times.

chocolatechic said...

I bet the fresh pineapple was out of this world.

Susan C said...

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.

Jodie said...

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

Melissa @ For the Love of Health said...

I bet they would! Yum!

Clivia said...

Simply beautiful! Well done.

Tracey said...

Absolutely gorgeous like always Mary! I love the long rectangular tarts you made. They're so unique!

Hornedfroggy said...

Oooooh, pineapple! Never would've thought to use that! :) Thanks for baking along with me this week - gorgeous photos!

Jackie @PhamFatale.com said...

I love the long ones. It seems easy to make and looks so yummy!

jillbert said...

They all look great, but I especially like the rectangles!

Tania said...

I am SO jealous of your pics. They turned out great! And I think they look "trendy!!"

Well done!
:)

Melissa said...

I love the look of your rectangles - very great idea!! Glad you liked these so much, they were a hit in my house too!

Charli said...

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!

Linda said...

I like the rectangular tartlets ---they look perfect for eating on the go.

And you're right --- ignorance is bliss w. puff pastry! :)

Shari@Whisk: a food blog said...

These are absolutely beautiful! the photos tell the story. Great job.

Allen said...

Absolutely perfect - love the tartlet shapes (and photos)!

caroline said...

I love these! They are gorgeous! I have some TJ's puff pastry and will try this! Yum!

Megan said...

Pineapple - it's what's for dessert!

Angie said...

Simple and scrumptious! I made this earlier but yours looks so perfect!! :-)

Angie said...

Btw, I just gave the apple tartlet post a thumbs up and a review on stumbleupon! Good luck! ;)

Pamela said...

I LOVE the long rectangles, Mary! That's the most creative thing I've seen with this one! Fantastic!

Lisa said...

Wow! Gorgeous and full of yum.

TeaLady said...

those look wonderful.

Katrina said...

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!

Marta said...

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!

Heather B said...

Pineapple and peaches sound perfect for this! Great idea! Love the rectangle tarts!

The Blonde Duck said...

Those are so cute!

Nichi said...

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!

CB said...

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!

When are you going to open your bakery? This (the long skinny fruit tartlet) would be something I would buy every morning with a fresh hot cup of joe. Looks easy to eat on the go and yuuuuuummmmmyyyyy!!! Racheal

I was just commenting to kim over at scrumptious photography about these tarts. I LOVE those long rectangular ones! They're so Parisian! OOH LALA!

Engineer Baker said...

I'm right there with you - definitely don't want to know how much butter is in there :) I love the long thin tarts though, they're just so elegant!

Mermaid Sweets said...

Um, AMAZING. So picture perfect - jealous of your obvious natural light and photography skills.

April said...

I love your tarts! They all look delicious!

Di said...

I love the rectangles--great idea. As always, I am jealous of you and everyone else with a TJs nearby. None in Texas. =(
