Apples, cream and vanilla makes ...

Have you ever found yourself looking in the fridge at three random ingredients and wondering 'What am I going to cook with this?'  Well the great French cookery site, Marmiton solves your problem.

Simply type in up to three ingredients and it will find a suitable recipe out of the reputed 50,000 on the site.  (One proviso, it's in French I'm afraid).

Anyway, as an experiment I just tired "apples, cream, vanilla" and 156 recipes came up, and I've included here the Tarte aux pommes à l'Alsacienne (serves 6)

A rather beautiful image from the french food blog, Les Guormandises de Sylvie

3 of 4 apples (depending on size)
pâte brisée (a type of short crust pastry, the food blog Chocolate & Zucchini have a recipe)
2 eggs
25 cl of crème fraîche
100 g icing sugar
a sachet of sucre vanillé (vanilla extract, although I would use half a vanilla pod)

Line a large greased circular baking tray with the pastry and press down with a fork.  Peel and cut the apples into fine slices. Place in the pastry case.

Mix the sugar crème fraîche, eggs, vanliles oeufs, le sucre vanillé; pour over the apple into the pastry case.

Put in an over at 200°C (th 6-7) until the tart has a golden colour.
