With Bastille Day on Friday we have all things French on the brain! If your little ones are a little older, Zelda and I fully approve of throwing a French themed tea party with this delicious French Apple Tart. Working with puff pastry is always a little intimidating because it is so delicate. I was worried that this recipe might be disastrous but was elated to find it was the exact opposite. I made it very quickly and the result was magical. This is one of the best desserts I’ve ever baked! What is your signature dessert recipe?

If your little ones are a little older, Zelda and I fully approve of throwing a French themed tea party with this delicious French Apple Tart.
- 4-6 Granny Smith Apples
- Athens Puff Pastry Sheets
- 2 Tablespoons Butter
- 1 Lemons
- Apple Jelly
- 2 Eggs
- Vanilla Ice Cream
- ½ Cup Sugar
- ¼ Teaspoon Salt
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Peel and core the apples; use a knife to cut into thin slices. Place the apple in a bowl with the sugar, salt and fresh squeezed lemon juice from one lemon. Stir to combine.
- Place a sheet of puff pastry on the baking sheet and trim the edges with a pizza cutter. Mix two eggs together in a bowl and brush the pastry with the egg wash.
- Arrange the apple slices in straight rows to cover the pastry, leaving room on the edges. Each row should slightly overlap. Melt two tablespoons butter and brush the top of the apples.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and brush the apples with apple jelly.
- Cut into slices with a pizza cutter and serve with vanilla ice cream and coffee or tea!

Gahhhhh!!! Best 4th of July gift ever. I just came back from Santorini from my honeymoon and I’ve been looking for a Tzatziki recipe that’s authentic and as delicious as in Greece. Thank you, Spiro! You’re our American hero today!????????????????????????
Corri McFadden
I LOVE Santorini, it’s one of the most beautiful places in the world! This Tsatziki paired back with a good Greek wine will for sure fulfill your cravings when the strike! Be sure to let us know what you think after you make it! Congrats on your marriage! XO
Jennifer
Yes! Looks so good and tzatziki is my absolute favorite dip. I’ve been grating my cucumbers for a while, but I’ve never grated the garlic. Will be trying Spiro’s recipe exactly as instructed ASAP. More Greek recipes please!
Corri McFadden
You got it- we will be sure to start sharing more of this Greek goodness! Be sure to let us know after you make it and what you think! XO
Roula
LOVE this recipe. As a 100% Greek mommy of 2 toddler boys, (who rarely ever cooks) simple recipes like this will score ME some big points when I bring to big fat Greek parties or just simply make at home. Thank you Spiro (& Corri). ?
Corri McFadden
NICE! You will for sure earn points with this one, and it’s SO simple! Be sure to let us know after you make it and send us a picture of the medal that you earn! XO

Can’t wait to try this! Thank you Spiro (and Corri)
Corri McFadden
You Bet- You have to let us know after you make it. Be careful it’s addicting!
Amorette
Girl, My husband’s special recipe he kills it at is called EATING!!? Thanks so much for sharing…I cant wait to try the tzatziki recipe….also can you use lamb or beef instead of pork?
Becky Tures
Sounds yummy. What does he like to serve with it?
Leah Nolan
It works on anything but especially well with warm pita, veggies to dip or with meat!
Michelle
Can’t wait to try this recipe! Two questions first – where do you typically purchase your European cucumbers and what grater is that (hopefully I can order on Amazon). Once I have the right stuff I will make and comment again! We love your recipes so keep em’ coming!
