Whoever she is, I hope you find something wonderful of this year’s gift guide. Instead, I took a handful of the women in my life, along with some of the gifts I’m planning to buy for them, and curated a gift guide fit for just about anyone: the fancy girl, a beauty-minded friend, an outdoorsy sister, or a book-loving mother-in-law. Initially I was going to curate this list for one specific type of woman- maybe a baker, a mom, an amateur home cook, etc, but let’s be honest: no one’s list is that homogenous. With the holidays just around the corner, let’s not waste any time- let’s dive in!įirst up: the gift guide. This year, I’ve taken all of my good ideas and plopped them on today’s post: a gift guide for every girl on your list! But that’s not the only yummy thing we’re serving- we also have a seriously delish brown butter apple tart complete with a buttery pastry crust, a brown butter custard filling, and spiced apples. A few years ago, that was a homemade quilt I made for a friend, one year it was a tiny gold band for my sister, and last year, it was the trip to Disney we secretly planned for our kids. Allow to cool and serve warm or at room temperature.Every year, I wind up with that one gift I’m just so excited to give. Loosen the tart with a metal spatula so it doesn’t stick to the paper. Don’t worry! The apple juices will burn in the pan but the tart will be fine! When the tart’s done, heat the apricot jelly together with the Calvados and brush the apples and the pastry completely with the jelly mixture. If the pastry puffs up in one area, cut a little slit with a knife to let the air out. (I tend not to use the apple ends in order to make the arrangement beautiful.) Sprinkle with the full ½ cup sugar and dot with the butter.īake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, until the pastry is browned and the edges of the apples start to brown. Place overlapping slices of apples diagonally down the middle of the tart and continue making diagonal rows on both sides of the first row until the pastry is covered with apple slices. Slice the apples crosswise in ¼-inch-thick slices. Remove the stems and cores with a sharp knife and a melon baller.

Peel the apples and cut them in half through the stem. Place the dough on the prepared sheet pan and refrigerate while you prepare the apples. Using a ruler and a small knife, trim the edges. Roll the dough slightly larger than 10 x 14 inches.

Wrap in plastic and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Dump onto a floured board and knead quickly into a ball. With the motor running, pour the ice water down the feed tube and pulse just until the dough starts to come together. Add the butter and pulse 10 to 12 times, until the butter is in small bits the size of peas. For the pastry, place the flour, salt, and sugar in the bowl of a food processor fitted with the steel blade.
