“This apple tart is a warm hug,” shares Michaelidis, “and with the Provençal sweets (Nougat de Montélimar, Calissons d’Aix-en-Provence) it becomes a poetic finale.” A delicate puff pastry base layered with tart Granny Smith apples, sweetened with cinnamon sugar and finished with a scoop of bourbon vanilla ice cream. This dessert brings a touch of Provençal poetry to your summer table.
