Beatiful! But don't hold it sideways, it'll fall!
- Hehe okay genuine question as I am new to Lemmy.... why do some of my photos upload sideways?
  
  I have no clue, sorry. Not really a tech person, jsut here for silly jokes
Oh man! <3
Recipe?
Good job, looks amazing!
It's almost a shame to cut it.
Better shove it down at once.
- Would you believe me if I told you it also tasted absolutely delicious? We invited some friends over and devoured the entire thing
I know this is a 3 weeks old post, but this is amazing.
So fancy looking 🌹 How was it? Are the apple "petals" a crispy texture?
Did it taste as good as it looks! It looks fantastic OP!
- It actually did taste incredible. I essentially frankensteined 3 recipes together and made some tweaks. It was eaten in under an hour haha
Looks beautiful and delicious!
Wow how?
You did it!! Wow!
That looks gorgeous! I saw in another comment that you used a mandolin to slice the apples - you’re braver than I am. I have one, but I’m terrified of it 😅
- They have finger guards for them! Don't be afraid, they smell fear. You can't slice all the way down, obviously, but the scraps can be used re: that comment I made earlier
  
  Hahaha, I’ll think about it (or, more likely, cajole my spouse into doing it for me)
Is there some custard in the base of that? Or maybe frangipane? Or are you a madlad and went for 100% apples?!
- 100% apples my friend. I used a mandolin to slice the apples so that they were thin and uniform, but its hard to slice ALL of it right? So I took the little left over slivers, chopped them down, and cooked them into a soft apple pie filling with some sugar, lemon, a splash of white wine. Then I spread that into the par-baked crust before arranging the slices on top as you see. It made it taste really good, I'm glad I did that, but it was sort of something I came up with on the spot
  
  Nice. Both resourceful and creative. Thanks.
