The Apple Tart is an iconic dessert. The first recipe was printed by Geoffrey Chaucer in 1381. Back in the Middle Ages, chefs favored tarts because they added color to banquet tables of kings and nobles.

During WWII, a popular slogan for why American soldiers were going to war was "for mom and apple pie." Today, the Apple Tart, remains a top dessert both at homes and bakeries around the world. Yum!
