Apples & Pears Flan
I have been asked to blog a recipe for a Belgian cake ... well, it was a coincidence that this recipe was in the pipeline. I am not sure it is typical, but surely it is Belgian. To give you an idea of how crazy Belgians are for apple tarts, few weeks ago we went to a BBQ of Elke's family ... and everybody except one family brought an apple cake!!! Incredible. We got this version from one of Elke's aunts (Tante Corine) ... it is super delicious! It is actually more a flan then a tart. Lekker!!!

Buona!! Ora che arriva l'autunno mi sembra il dolce giusto :)
Scusa la mia ignoranza linguistica ma "crumble pastry" vuol dire pasta frolla? quindi pasta usare una frolla dolce (sucré appunto...) stesa piuttosto sottile?
buona serata
k - si e' pasta frolla. Come si vede nella foto si stende molto sottile. In realta' mia moglie ha comprato quella gia fatta (e light), anche se io le dico sempre che fare la pasta frolla in casa e' facilissimo. La prossima volta gliela faccio.
Ciao e buona giornata.
Oggi siamo in perfetta sintonia :-)
Almeno le torte di mele portate al BBQ erano una diversa dall'altra o erano tutte uguali?! Ciao, Alex
Tre erano uguali ... il tipico dolce alle mele belga a base di tanto pandispagna e poca mela e un poco secco. A me gusta poco.
Ik zou zeggen Heerlijk!!!
Anche qui a torte di mele non ci facciamo mancare niente...
Prima o poi la posto una Appel Taart !
doei doei ^_=
talking about applepie: there is still the event to be done of shopping in Eindhoven for the girls (and we might sneak out quickly for finishing Halo2), and having the applepie of Cocagne Sofitel, Eindhoven for coffee.
Marc - Check your inbox :-)
bellissima immagina, di questo faln così fino che mi dà l'idea di un gusto poetico.
Francesca - grazie, questa e' opera culinaria di Elke, io ho fatto solo a foto e mi sono preso alcuni pezzetti di frutta bruciacchiata :-)
Si vede il buco???
This looks great. I have some quinces, I wonder if they would work nicely with this?
haha thats nice...everybody bought apple cake ! this slice looks fantastic. Wish i could try some:))
peabody - I do not know. I admit my ignorance, I never ate them! So, something (more) for me to try ... once I know how they call them here in Belgium!!
kate - we are making again on sunday!! Yuppie! I have to thank a friend of mine from US who is passing by our house for this quick redo ... normally cakes are rare here due to our never ending diet regime :-(
Mi ricordo di mangiare in Belgio qualcosa di simile, ed era buonissimo ! ...
bello questo blog
Bikebrok - Grazie
