Apple Rose Tartlets


While visiting Cape Cod last summer, we happened upon an awesome French bakery, PB Boulangierie. After enduring a long line in the morning, we finally filed our way in to get a couple of croissants, Pain Au Chocolate, and an apple tart, E selected.  After watching her eat the tart, which is a story of its own, I haven't been able to stop thinking about how appetizing it looked. Dozens of thinly sliced apples weaved together into a rose; wafting of caramelized sugar, apple and butter. 

I took my best guess at the technique to create the roses.  Set in pate brisse with boysenberry jam, this is easy, but meticulous. I can't wait to buy the original this coming summer.
