Recipe Box, Sweet & Savory Apple Tart with Fennel & Prosciutto
It’s raining leaves at my house
But they aren’t the pretty fall leaves you save and wax and put in your centerpieces or pumpkin pots
It was 97 degrees, dry as a bone, and I think they’ve simply given up!
I had to use faux leaves in my pots because the real leaves were just too sad, they hate the end of summer as much as I do, I’m thinking…
But, I’ve decided to Keep Calm and Fall On, and just embrace dry stuff!!
I put this together in about 30 seconds, natural excelsior moss is tucked into a cone shaped grapevine basket and with a stem of faux pumpkins and a stem of fuzzy orange puffs that I thought were total fun
I also threw away all the ugly dead plants and flowers from my pots and beds did a little gardening…
Here’s an easy peasy recipe to celebrate autumn’s arrival
A tart full of sweet apples, savory prosciutto and tangy fennel
Here’s the trick that makes it super easy
Stouffer’s frozen Harvest Apples- they are already glazed and seasoned, all you have to do is defrost them
I made quick work of the onion and fennel by slicing them and tossing them in a skillet with butter and olive oil to cook down, low and slow, while I prepared the crust
If you place the tart on a sheet of parchment paper it’s easy to transfer from prep area to baking sheet and after baking to a cutting board
Bake the crust according to package directions until golden
Once the onion and fennel has started to caramelize, remove it to a cutting board and give it some quick chops so the pieces will be more manageable.
Chopping after cooking is quicker and easier than chopping raw, but either way works
Assemble tart by placing the apples in an even layer over the baked crust
Top with chopped onions and fennel
Then prosciutto on top
Return to oven for 12-15 minutes or until prosciutto is crispy and everything looks happy
Cut into small squares to serve
You can even top it with cheddar cheese if you like
Note: I add extra vegetables to everything to boost the nutrition, but if you really want to make this easy, eliminate the fennel and onion and just make it with apples and prosciutto
Cooked sausage or bacon would be good too

We love fennel Jenna and I love the idea of a sweet and savory tart! It’s dry and the leaves are crisping up and falling here too, we need rain! Hope you’re enjoying a beautiful weekend on the water 🙂
This looks so good yet easy, Jenna! Love the line “until everything looks happy”! Happy Sunday.
Oh I want this now!! Wish I could trade a Jewish Apple cake for this tart ! 😉. Apple minded we both are today.
Such pretty fall pumpkins on the porch Jenna. Here too, everything has dried up and for certain
we will have no pretty change of color because it all died and is blowing away with the hot breeze. It was 108 at Bryant-Denny yesterday! OMGoodness, we need to get a break with this heat soon!
The tart looks delicious…………
You didn’t go to the game did you? I heard people were leaving after the 1st quarter it was so hot. I am melting in Bham while HH is lounging in the pool at the beach but he said it’s really hot there too…supposed to break this week, fingers crossed!
I would definitely use the onions. They are so good for you and we love them. What a great recipe idea. I had no idea there were seasoned, cooked apples waiting for me at the grocery store!
The tart sounds great and I love your cool looking pumpkins-Happy Fall:@)
