To my utter dismay, TWD made the brown sugar apple cheesecake before I joined. To my utter amazement, I still have not made it. (and it’s not looking good with all of the apple and/or fall fruit recipes coming up. how am i going to squeeze a cheesecake into a month with two pies???).
I did, however, manage to get to the tarte fine. I did not manage to come up with any apricot jam. I knew there was a cosmic reason a jar of Smuckers Caramel topping has been sitting in my “pantry” (quotes for the house…pantry is being used liberally) for some time now. I have to say, I am not sure the apricot jam would have been any better.
Overall, we liked this and polished it off in record time. If memory serves, I prefer the apple turnovers but am looking forward to trying Dorie’s apple pie. I almost made it a couple of weeks go but went another direction.
Next week: more apples – bundt cake style.
It is an apple month, isn’t it? I am trying to get back into TWD – but all these apple recipes are a bit unnerving.
Where’s the chocolate? And cheesecake?
Your tart looks wonderful! If I had the choice between apricot preserves and caramel, I’d go caramel every time. I skipped the preserves on mine and no one seemed to care as they were scarfing it down. Thanks for baking with me this week!
I loved this too….glad you did as well.

Yeah, I am behind as I am making this tomorrow…you have me thinking this caramel sauce thing, sounds infinitely better than jam all of a sudden. Looks great, looking forward to it!
Ooh, caramel…what an inspired choice! The tart looks wonderful.
