It's so funny reading about Robespierre because everyone thinks he was this brutal dictator that guillotined half of France, when in reality he was just this autistic little nerd who was so obsessed with the equal rights of the people that he was nicknamed The Incorruptible and loved fruit tarts so much that he wrote a poem about fruit tarts.

Apple tart with chili-cardamom caramel

A tart-sweet apple filling, spiced with Ceylon cinnamon and fennel, layered on a robust, flaky crust, then drizzled with a warming, aromatic clear caramel. The spices are subtle, creating a play of complementary flavors with no resounding winner.

Releasing liquid from the apples ahead of baking serves two purposes: creating a crust that is crisp all the way through; and forming a base for the caramel, marrying the flavors of the topping and the sauce.

Ingredients

Makes one 12” x 12” tart. Serves 4-6.

For the dough:

1 cup (120g) all-purpose flour

1/4 tsp kosher salt

100g salted non-dairy margarine (stick form)

About 3 Tbsp cold water

For the topping:

1 1/2 baking apples, washed, cored, and thinly sliced

1/2-inch chunk Ceylon cinnamon, toasted and ground, or 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon (or substitute 1/4 tsp cassia cinnamon)

1/4 tsp fennel seeds, toasted and ground, or 1/4 tsp ground fennel

Pinch ground cloves

2 Tbsp vegetarian granulated sugar

Pinch salt

To assemble:

1/2 Tbsp non-dairy margarine, melted

For the caramel:

Liquid from draining apples

3 Tbsp sugar

3 green cardamom pods, crushed

1-2 dried red chilies, broken

With 1 chili, the sauce is to my taste warming without being detectably spicy. Increase chili as desired.

Instructions

For the dough:

1. Combine flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Cut cold margarine into an even dice with a sharp knife and coat in flour (or cut margarine into flour with a pastry cutter).

2. Add water, kneading dough against the sides of the bowl, until it just comes together. Cover and put in the refrigerator to chill.

For the topping:

1. Wash apples, core, and slice thinly. Toss with spices, salt, and sugar and put in a sieve over a bowl to drain. Leave for about an hour, stirring once, until apples have released several tablespoons of liquid.

To shape:

1. While the apples rest, roll out dough into a rough rectangle on a generously floured surface.

2. Fold the rectangle in three widthwise, like an envelope, and then in half widthwise to form a square.

3. Re-flour the surface, if necessary. Roll out dough again into a large square about 1/4” (1/2 cm) thick. Brush the surface of the dough with melted margarine.

To assemble:

1. Arrange apples over the dough so that they overlap slightly, leaving a 1-inch (2.5 cm) border on all sides.

2. Fold the edges over the apples and press down on the corners to seal.

3. Put in the freezer to chill while preparing the caramel.

For the caramel:

1. Pour the liquid from the apples into a saucepan (preferably one with a light-colored bottom) and heat on medium-low. Add sugar and stir to dissolve.

2. Add spices and heat on medium, without stirring, until simmering. If sugar starts to stick to the sides of the pan, brush it down with a wet pastry brush.

3. Continue to heat, gently moving the mixture back and forth with a rubber spatula if you notice the color changing unevenly, until caramel is a light amber color. This will probably happen quickly, so watch closely.

4. Remove from heat and carefully dunk the bottom of the pot in a bowl of cool water to halt further cooking.

To bake:

1. Preheat your oven to 400 °F (205 °C) with the rack in the center. Bake the apple tart for 50-60 minutes, until crust is golden brown and apples are tender.

2. Drizzle with caramel and serve hot.

Desma and Laverna also fight for the same tarts right? (If I'm remembering correctly from another ask lol) I can imagine the scene and poor mc being in the middle of it lol

You remember!

Hold on...

Laverna's smile is forced and her grip on the bag of tarts tightened.

"Ah, Desma. How nice to see you," she says sweetly, her eyes sharp.

Desma snarls and leans in, pulling the bag closer to her.

"These are mine," she growls.

You, Tamu, Sefu, and Merikh look at each. other nervously.

"Should we intervene?" Merikh asks and Tamu scoffs.

"You can. I'm already down one hand, so I won't be risking it,"

Sefu is too busy watching the confrontation unfold to contribute.

"Alright," you say carefully, taking a step closer. "Why don't we put the tarts down and ask if there are more,"

Both of the women ignore you.

Laverna let's out a brisk laugh and yanks the bag back again with a surprising amount of strength.

"As amusing as I usually find your crassness, I've never cared much for delusional people," Laverna says, her smile dropping as she leans closer. "Let go of my damn tarts, before I forget myself."

"What you can forget is these tarts, because I don't let anyone take what's mine,"

"Oh Desma. It must be distressing to find out what you thought you had was never yours to begin with," Laverna pouts with feigned sympathy.

"Oh shit," Sefu giggles and leans against Tamu who takes several steps back.

"I'm going to check and see if these are the only tarts in the city," Merikh says before disappearing.

Desma's face is red with fury.

"Listen here you pretty faced bi—"

"FRESH TARTS! FRESH FROM THE OVENS!"

"Thank the heavens," Tamu says with a sigh of relief.

Mingzan, Kuroobi, and some fruit tarts.

For context, this is Kuroobi and his Reader from my story, Get You Some Arlong Pirates

TARTS.

What sweets do you like then? Besides yorkshire pudding

How did you know about - I suppose I have disclosed that on here before.

Fruit tarts are pleasing. As are semi sweet baked goods with nuts and dried fruits. Cakes are too sweet, but an otherwise plain or savory bread makes a perfect base.
