The tart sounds fabulous. I love the addition of black pepper.

Talk about unexpected ingredients…to date, my favorite apple tart was paired with rosemary. It was delicious.

Love, love, love your blog. :)

This is great! I love the pepper in the pastry. Tarts are my favorite dessert to make (also like the savory versions). I also love buying different varieties of quality peppers. I’m adding this recipe to my tart arsenal. I read above that you’re sick…get tons of rest and feel better soon!

Fanny, that recipe sounds incredibly intriguing, even though I cannot eat apple tart (anything with warm apples makes me sick for some strange reason).

Your pictures look great, even though you’re not happy with them! Last week I ended up with a fluorescent and nuclear looking custard (damn that daylight saving time!) and this week I had to phone my boyfriend to ask him how to change the light setting on the camera…

Quelle jolie tarte! Je n’ai jamais rien vu de semblable, c’est très original. C’est bien meilleure quand c’est relié à des souvenirs d’enfance… (ah, Ratatouille!)

Apple tarts, especially French ones, are the best!! Love your originality! I think your photos are lovely, I struggle with the light now that it's getting dark and cloudy all the time too!

EXACTLY. Could anyone ask the sun to stay up late? Please, I mean PLEASE.

Truly an original idea. I imagine the black pepper puts a zip and zing in the flavor that lifts the apples from good to sublime.

Your words are beautiful.

Black pepper in the crust? Genious! I have to try! And come on, you shouldn’t talk about bad pictures…I agree that it’s really hard to photograph flat things, but you succeeded in making the tart look appetizing, so…

Fanny, your pictures are fine!! I always take bad pictures with new lenses and bad weather, you can see that on my blog :)) Everytime I look at them I ask myself "are you silly? how can you post pictures like these??".

Yes, exactly. I usually wouldn’t even think of posting these sort of pictures, but well, nablopomo doesn’t really give me the choice.

Black pepper in an apple tart…sounds like a fantastic combination :) I can imgine how the flavors play off each other!

Your photos are always nice Fanny :)

Black pepper in pâte brisée! :-) never heard of that before! Sounds like a great combo. Thanks for opening my eyes. - It reminds me of the chocolate brownies my friend made which also featured Black pepper! (which was delish)

Mmmmm. Black pepper in chocolate brownies must be so good.
