My cooking experiments have been influenced by Almost Makes Perfect before. This time, she baked an apple tart from Delish that looked too pretty to be homemade. Normally, I'm not drawn to complicated or cheffy-looking dishes, but she claimed it was both "easy" and "fun" to make. The ingredient list wasn't intimidating, and we just so happened to have a bag of McIntoshes in the fridge, so I decided to give the recipe a whirl. Two hours later, I had made... something...

Allow me to introduce you to my Apple Monster:
Hahahahaha. It certainly isn't winning any beauty pageants.
I hadn't baked a carbon copy of the original pastry. (Clearly!) However, shockingly, it wasn't a complete disaster either!
Missteps: My apples were sliced too thin. The crust came out a lot more ~rustic~ than intended. I left out the apricot glaze because, well, I couldn't be bothered to go out and buy some. Oh, and who knows if that's even the proper dish for baking pies?
Bright sides: The tart wasn't terribly difficult to pull together, and the final product definitely had that signature coziness of apple pie. It tasted so good! Sweet, spicy, buttery, gooey. Bonus: The kitchen smelled incredible.
I'd absolutely make this again -- mostly to work on my presentation lol. Next time, I'll remember to add a big fat scoop of vanilla ice cream on the side ;)
