Quick Apple Tart

This Quick Apple Tart Recipe makes a rustic dessert recipe that everyone loves! Instead of using apricot jam, I found Apple Cider Jam from Trader Joe's, though apricot works too. You can serve it with ice cream, whipped cream, powdered sugar….

Almond Pear Tart

I have made many Almond Pear Tarts. This one is a simple yet elegant tart featuring delicious fresh pears. The almond flavor marries perfectly with the sweetness of the pears, a match made in heaven.

Chocolate Caramel Tart

I made this Chocolate Caramel Tart and to say it's decadent is an understatement! No one could eat more than a sliver. The gooey caramel center really takes it over the top. If you happen to have a sweet tooth, you should try it. I also thought it would be good to chop it up and put it in ice cream, just to add to your caloric intake!

Rosemary Apple Cake

I woke up one morning and decided I needed to make an Apple Rosemary Cake. This is peak apple season. I love getting different varieties of apples. The combination of rosemary and apple really works in this very simple cake. It gets topped off with a rosemary syrup.

J. Kenji López-Alt’s Ten-Minute Lime Cracker Pie

This Ten-Minute Lime Cracker Pie from J. Kenji López-Alt, Serious Eats’ Food Lab columnist, has the spirit of a Key lime pie and can be layered up in 10 minutes, then it's refrigerated to meld into a tart-sweet-salty-creamy icebox cake. The weird thing about it is that it's made using Ritz crackers and it totally works.

Mixed-Berry Galette

One of Summer's greatest offerings is the abundance of berries. This Mixed-Berry Galette is a very quick and easy dessert. A galette is a French rustic, free-form tart made with a single crust. This basic galette recipe can be tailored to fit whatever fruit you have on hand.

Lime Pie Cups

We had some friends for dinner last night and I came up with these (no bake) Lime Pie Cups. It's way too hot to be baking! I don't usually create desserts, but I have to say it turned out very well. The sweet graham-cracker crust makes this semi-tart pie a winner.

Peaches in Rosemary Glaze

I love peaches, but it seems like I buy them rock hard and then the next time I check them, they are rotten! I feel like there is a 20-minute window to eat perfect peaches! These Peaches in Rosemary Glaze are so simple and the perfect way to eat them. You can use them with ice cream, yogurt or in a tart. This recipe is inspired by Yotam Ottolenghi.
