Tarte Normande
apple pie, Normandy style
A classic Tarte Normande has a pâte brisée, filled with sliced apples, sliced almonds, cream and sugar, and baked until slightly caramelised. A firm apple like Granny Smith that will keep its shape is recommended
A Brandon Normand is a pie with a thick layer of crème pâtissière flavoured ground almonds and Calvados with quartered apples pre-cooked in butter, and flambéed with Calvados
