This is a French classic dessert. It is easy to prepare, even at the last minute.

Ingredients:

  • 6 peeled and cored sliced apples
  • Juice from half a lemon
  • 125 ml butter
  • 200 ml sugar
  • 5 ml nutmeg
  • Pie crust

Method:

  • Peel and slice the apples
  • In a bowl, mix the apples and the lemon juice. This will prevent the apple to oxidize
  • Melt the butter and sugar and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring often
  • Add the apple and nutmeg to the sugar and cook for about 5 minutes
  • Cover the pan with a pie crust and bake in the oven for 45 minutes at 3500 F
  • Remove the pie from the oven and let cool for 30 minutes
  • Place a large plate on top of the crust and turn the pan upside down so the pie fall in the plate (be careful)

This cake is very different from a typical cheesecake. It’s a blend of Tarte Tatin (upside down apple pie) and cheesecake. It’s just delicious!

  • 375 ml sour cream
  • 15 ml lemon peel
  • 75 ml lemon juice
  • 5 ml vanilla

Method:

  • In a bowl, mix the flour, sugar and lemon peel
  • Make a hole in the centre and add the egg yolk, melted butter and vanilla. Mix until the texture is fine crumbs
  • Press the mixture at the bottom of a spring form pan
  • Bake at 3250 F for about 12 minutes
  • While the crust is in the oven, peel and slice the apples (about 8 mm thick)
  • In a large sauce pan, melt the butter and sugar over medium heat
