Balsamic/Apple Tart - 24hourcampfire

After looking at that apple pie thread a few days, I wanted to make a pie. Did not have enough dough, so I made a tart instead.
Did not have a lemon, so I made a balsamic vinegar solution instead. Granny Smith apples.
Made too many apples to fit in a tart, so I sauteed the rest of 'em, and made an apple topping for icecream. That worked well too.

Damn, Sam. If you hadn't put that dollop of vanilla ice cream on top, I might have been able to resist.

forgot to mention Greg, the icecream is NOT optional. It's required.

Oh yeah!!!! Up top!

Damn it. Figures.

Mannlicher, that apple tart really looks fit to eat. My wife wants to make one.

What is "Galangal?"

Thanks.

It's fancy stuff Sam knows about.

Outstanding as always Sam! As I've said before I am not a baker, but my wife loves it and I will pass it to her.

One of my wife's buddies on FB informed me that this is not a 'tart', it is instead, a 'Galette'. I have to defer to her, since she teaches French cooking in a fancy school.

Galangal is worth trying. You can get it from Penzys, and once you try it, you will want to use it often. It is sorta like ginger, but better.

Thanks for the info on Galangal. Have to try some in the apple tart.

holy smokes

Must. Try. Now.

I'm getting sick of all of these threads showing me foods that I should cook!

As a fat man, I can't resist something that looks that good and seems that simple.

I feel your pain. I did not get that bit of tummy by eating tofu.
