winter pie

We've been very social since before Christmas, going out nearly every night. Last night we enjoyed a delicious lamb roast at the home of friends. I offered to bring dessert and chose the Apple Custard Tart from The Kitchn (formally known as Apartment Therapy: Kitchen). Though it's not exclusively a recipe site, I've found in the past that their recipes are not only dependable but surprisingly good. (Just try the Israeli Couscous with Chard or the Chickpea and Chorizo Soup).I only had 1/4 tablespoon of cinnamon on hand (the recipe calls for 3) and therefore substituted a small amount of allspice for the missing cinnamon. The result was a very complex but delicious flavor that we all agreed we preferred to cinnamon.
Sometimes I wish I could just cook and cook...
