Panade aux Pommes a Fall Dessert in Provence
Dessert · Pies & Tarts · Provencal Recipes · TasteWe bike on the small roads outside of St Remy de Provence all summer and watch the season pass by the rhythm of the season fruit trees. In late September, the pears and apples are finally ready for harvest, and sometimes we even get a treat for all our hard peddling all year.

This is not a classic American apple pie. The panade is a shallow pie dish filled with a mix of sweet and tart. This pie is low in sugar and a great balance of tart and sweet.
