Yum! P.S. I had the same countertop when I lived in Florida.

Yikes, Jody !

That looks like it was made by a professional. Good job, and thanks for sharing...........(or showing off ;D) . I agree with Geordy that vanilla ice-cream would add the perfect touch

, and I could easily eat that right now for breakfast.

You haven't experienced life until you have breathed Paris.

It tasted even better than it looked.

It is so very simple to make.

Roll out pastry into an 9" circle or use a ready crust from the grocery store.

Melt 4 tbs. Butter in a skillet, add 4 large apples peeled and sliced, 1/4 cup sugar and a sprinkle of ciinnamon. Saute until tender and slightly browned.

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Place apples on crust leaving a 1" margin. Fold edges in and pleat. Bake 25 minutes, open oven and sprinkle 1 TBS brown sugar over apples , bake 5 min more

If I'm really lazy I don't bother peeling the apples

I'm no cook, but it sounds easy enough that I think I'll try it! What kind of apples are best to use?

The only apples I avoid are Delicious. I find them tasteless and woody

And now I will have to brave the cold and go get some apples. That looks marvelous.

I also avoid Delicious, they were a strain developed because they stay red and pretty on shelves, not for taste, or so I was told by a man who should know, the head of the department at Ohio State University for many years which engaged in such processes.

Paris is a state of mind, and I am sure I left my mind in Paris, so we're all set, non?

holger: It really does seem as if the site is moribund. Too bad and as I no longer have emails for anyone on my computer just want to wish you all well. I do check periodically but mostly now go to slow travel and the France forum there. Apr 22, 2015 7:54:32 GMT -5
