Happy Birthday, Julia! In honor of you and the opening of the movie, Julie and Julia Bon Appetit Magazine invited readers to create an item or a meal right out of Mastering the Art of French Cooking. This was my dish: La tarte des demiselles tatin (Upside-down Apple Tart). page 638, volume one.
I started with apples from my tree! When I was a student at the Cordon School of Cooking in Paris we learned that the ideal way to plan a menu was to go to the local open market and choose what was fresh or in season as a starting point. So I just stepped out of the kitchen about 15 feet and picked my apples. From there it was pretty easy. I wish that the apples had caramelized a little more but I had to take the tart out of the oven a little early. A realtor was going to show my house tonight with 30 minutes notice.......and after I had left the house she called to cancel...5 minutes until 7:00pm.
The tart was absolutely delicious.....mostly apples, a perfect crust. I think I will have it for breakfast too...maybe with a little yogurt.
Bon Appetit!

Julia would be proud of you... It looks wonderful. I love apples and pastry. "Happy Birthday Dear Julia"
OMG - apples are my favorite. I'll be right over!
This looks very good. Good enough to make my mouth water just looking at the picture.
