"posh" dessert using cooking apples

[lilolilmanchester]

Am doing dessert for a dinner party. Have tons of apples but don't want to do pie/crumble/eve's pud. Not at our house, so needs to be transportable. OK to reheat, but no last minute prep. Any ideas please?

Tarte tatin with creme fraiche
Piss easy and looks and tastes fab.

Here you go frenchfood.about.com/cs/dessertcoffee/a/tarttatin.htm

(following on from recent mn thread, call it 'pudding' )

oh yes, I've made that before and you're right on both counts! Looks like tons of other apple recipes on that site. Guess MN makes us all lazy with internet searches, but also good to know what other Mums (vs professional cooks!) recommend. Thanks.

Oncew I made honeyed stewed apple, I think it was, in a warmed croissant with creme fraiche. Nigle Slater it was. SImple and tasty.

oh it's ok with me, lilo! but som einteresting facts about the misuse of dessert did come out.

trying to find the thread you refer to, must have passed me by. I don't care either, as long as it's sweet and tasty, who gives a flying whotsit what it's called!

ha ha. I don't care, but then I was brought up having dinner in the middle of the day and tea round about 5. And whatever you call the not savoury course after dinner/tea was usually tinned fruit and carnation milk or prunes and custard. So I don't care what it's called, as long as it's better than that!
