A Honeyed Apple Peanut Butter Tart for your ‘Picky Palate’.

I am always so happy when our featured guests include a recipe with their Thursday photography posts. I LOVE the photos of this tart from Jenny…I think it’s one of her best recipes. (I will try to refrain from licking my screen. Try being the operative word here.) If you want deeper instructions on making this honey apple tart, please visit Picky Palate and see the original recipe.

Honeyed Apple Peanut Butter Tart

1 sheet Puff Pastry, thawed

heaping 1/2 Cup creamy peanut butter

2 Tablespoons honey, warmed plus 4 Tablespoons for drizzling

2 apples of choice, sliced thinly

2 Tablespoons granulated sugar

Powdered sugar for dusting

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Slice puff pastry dough into 3 equal size rectangles and place onto a silpat lined baking sheet. Warm peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl until liquid like. Drizzle in 2 Tablespoons of honey, stir then spread evenly over 3 pastry rectangles leaving 1/2 inch border around edges. Layer apple slices neatly over top of peanut butter, drizzle with warm honey, sprinkle with sugar then bake for 30-35 minutes or until pastry is lightly browned and puffed around the edges. Let cool completely then drizzle with additional warm honey if desired and powdered sugar. Serve as whole tarts or cut each tart into fourths.

3 full tarts or 12 slices

Desserts and place settings

I love the photos that Maryam brings us today of desserts and placesettings from her homeland of Morocco. (If I ever get the chance to go there, staying at her beautiful hotel is a MUST.) While they are all gorgeous, I absolutely adore the henna hand cookies and the peacock place setting. Lovely.
I thought I would share with you two of my favorite things: deserts and place settings.
Our boutique hotel, Peacock Pavilions, is geared towards creative retreats (painting, cooking, photography, spa/shopping, yoga, etc.). And so meals are communal and fun, very often held in our handpainted embroidered Moroccan dining tent. Our motto around here is wholesome modern Moroccan flavors with yummy deserts. Every day is a chance to try something new and that goes for the place settings, too! I love to mix it up and treat our guests to special little surprises.

Making your own vanilla.

Real vanilla (NOT imitation! Yuck!) is one of the truly wonderful things on the planet and I adore it. In fact, I often dab some on instead of perfume when I want to smell especially yummy (I know, but you should try it sometime…it’s amazing.) Maryam makes it look so easy and pretty to make, I just might try making this and giving it out for the holidays (AFTER I have a liberal supply in my pantry for myself, of course.) Continue reading
