Apple Tartelette (each)

Elegance in Every Slice

Boulangerie Christophe's Apple Tartelette is a masterclass in French pastry restraint. A crisp, golden pâte feuilletée base is topped with a thin layer of almond cream, then fanned with paper-thin slices of fresh apple arranged in a precise spiral, glazed with warm apricot jam, and baked until the edges caramelize and the apples turn silky and golden.

The result is a pastry that's at once delicate and deeply satisfying — buttery, lightly sweet, and fragrant with the natural perfume of fresh apple. Beautiful enough to stop you in your tracks. Delicious enough to make you order another.

The Art of Laminated Pastry

The base of every Apple Tartelette is Boulangerie Christophe's signature hand-laminated puff pastry (pâte feuilletée). Premium European-style butter is folded into the dough through a precise series of turns over two days, creating hundreds of alternating paper-thin layers of dough and butter. When baked, those layers puff and separate into a shatteringly crisp, honeycomb base that holds its structure beautifully beneath the apple topping — never soggy, always perfectly flaky.

Fresh Apple, Sliced to Order

Christophe selects firm, fragrant apples for their balance of sweetness and acidity. Each apple is peeled and sliced paper-thin by hand, then fanned in a careful spiral over the almond cream base. A generous brush of warm apricot glaze before and after baking gives the finished tartelette its signature lacquered shine and a subtle fruity depth that complements the apple perfectly.
