Cookbook author Kim Laidlaw says that the first recipe from Julia Child she ever made was her French custard apple tart. The recipe for this delicately flavored tart, filled with vanilla-poached pears and brandy-spiked custard and topped with sugary toasted almonds, is an ode to Julia and that memorable apple dessert.
