French Apple Tart
POMME AU CHOCOLAT
While apples and chocolate are not an obvious combination, this particular recipe of unroasted Tanzanian cacao from Kokoa Kamili, green apple, apricot, star anise, and vanilla bean, proves they can be a heavenly match. Last year, one subscriber wrote to us, "The French Apple tart was like a giant velvet hug. An explosion of smooth, slightly sweet joy in every bite. It is worth every calorie.” We agree.
