This light and delicious apple pastry is in the Alsace-Lorraine style.

If you like Trader Joe's carmelized onion, ham, and gruyere tart, you'll like this as well. It's the same style tart in a sweet version, instead of savory.

Paper thin pastry is coated with a thin cream custard and then a single layer of shaved granny smith apples. You're instructed to bake this directly on the oven rack for 11 minutes, and then, sprinkle with an included packet of cinnamon sugar. I found the goo bubbled up and over into my toaster oven, however, so you may wish to use a cookie sheet.

The tart is paper thin, crispy, and light in both texture and calories. Quite good, even for this gal, who isn't a big fan of apple pie, apple strudel, or any apple desserts, frankly.

Would be delicious with both ice cream and whipped cream. I could even see throwing a few cranberries or blueberries across the top.

One tart (about the size of a pizza): $3.99.

Serving size is 1/4 of the tart (yahoo!).
