Tarte Normande

This French classic hails from Normandy, a region famous not only for apples but also for its Calvados apple liqueur, both of which are essential ingredients of tarte Normande and make the perfect match for the delicately sweet almond frangipane cream filling, while the base is made with pâte brisée or shortcrust pastry. Norman apple tart is typically served with a dollop of crème fraîche on the side, and it is best enjoyed while still warm.
