As American as Tarte aux Pommes


We decided to make one Apple Pie and one Tarte aux Pommes, then compare. For the Apple Pie, Silas cut his apples into chunks, added cinnamon, cardamon, cloves, nutmeg, ginger and a sprinkle of sugar, though not much so that it would remain tart. For the Tarte aux Pommes, Sagey spread a layer of creme d'amande, then carefully cut and arranged her slices.








































































Tasting and comparing.
