Tart Aux Pommes - French Apple Tart

Tarte aux Pommes is your everyday traditional apple tart sold in nearly every patisserie( pastry shop) in France. The ingredients are simple as its preparation technique. I prefer this dessert over apple pie, but that is just my taste. For this particular recipe, we used a shortbread crust. My husband and I find that the caramelizing of the short bread crust adds a new dimension to the taste and texture of this old-time French favorite.
