Wow, it has been a busy week! Spring has sort of sprung in Oregon...there have been a handful of sunny days. The tasting room has been a madhouse and we've had so many long-time blog readers visit. It's always SO fun when you all come out and say hi...it validates what I do here. At least in my mind it does.
I've also hired a new crew in the tasting room, make sure you drop by and say hi to Jeff, Joni and Marissa...they will be helping me keep my sanity as we head into the busy wine tasting season. We continue to do wine pairings with small little nibbles and bites, it's really a fun way to spend your afternoon.
Now these tarts, they are so easy to make, my kids could do it. But the secret ingredient here is the almond paste (which I did could eat with a spoon by the way). These are the perfect after dinner treat and will impress any company you might be having over.
These tarts open up like little blossoms. They are also perfect topped with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. We did try both, but they were too warm to put on before taking a picture, as the whipped cream and ice cream would have melted. And of course everyone was begging for their dessert...well, you get it. It's the life of a food blogger, trying to get pictures while your family stands in the background and watches their warm food go cold. Sorry family.
Anyway, give these a try...you will love....

Hi there,
These look delicious. Do you think they could be frozen and reheated?
Hmmm, I think it would lose those flaky puff pastry layers of goodness.
These look beautiful and delicious!
I’ve never cooked with almond paste, but can’t wait to try it – these look so tasty!
I made these last night and what a hit!!
I made these yesterday.. mmm.. wonderful.. but a hint.. do NOT leave your dough out too long to thaw.. i had a mess getting it apart.. also my husband said he would have liked to have the apples peeled??? I Love all your recipes.. thanks.
I made this tonight, and it was great! I changed the recipe by making two big tarts using two sheets of puff pastry and 3 apples, and topping them with sliced almonds.
Made these tonight but used strawberries I got at Farmer’s Market this morning instead of apples. SO good! My husband ate two of them! I bet these would be good with any fruit in them!
Oh nom nom nom nom nom….just finished eating this – VERY delicious! I peeled my apples per one of the comments and second the comment about making sure you don’t let them thaw too long or they will be too sticky. I like that they were 1.) Very yummy 2.) Very Easy to make and 3.) Look fancy.
ok… this is the third time this week I’m making these tarts… and this time with pears (and a sugar mixture of ginger, nutmeg and cinnamon) plus little marzipan balls that I’ve squished flat! New fave dessert… and so stunningly simple to make… wow!
thank you!! hope you don’t mind, but it’s going into my “family recipes” folder!!
So glad you are enjoying them, thanks for the feedback!
