Tarte au Sucre Recipe

Prepare the Apples

In a skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sliced apples, cinnamon, and half of the turbinado sugar. Cook until the apples are tender and caramelized, about 10 minutes. Set aside.

Make the Filling

In a bowl, combine the creme fraiche, lemon zest, remaining turbinado sugar, and powdered sugar. Mix until smooth and creamy.

Assemble the Tarte

Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Roll out your tart pastry and place it in a tart pan. Spread the creme fraiche mixture evenly over the bottom. Top with the warm cinnamon apples.

Bake

Bake in the preheated oven for about 25-30 minutes, or until the tart is golden and set. Let cool slightly before serving.
