I don't know if there is another dessert that captures Fall like an Apple Tart. Hope you give this recipe a try soon! How is everyone doing today?

[ElizabethGonzalez-tjgl]

“that was really dumb. i didn’t have to do that all. but i feel good about it!” a constant mood of mine

[tati.l.]

The gameshow music for the "Is Claire doing this right?" "Is that correct?" bits was *chef's kiss*

[MaeFrey]

obsessed with the fact that she has to check if she’s making her own recipe correctly

[OriginalElysian]

100% the correct choice for the thumbnail. Claire being unafraid to be herself is exactly why we all love her lol

Also, I've cut apples Claire's way all my life and I'm so happy to know that's how she does it too!

[melanieb]

I want to see an episode where the crew does the baking, to see what they have learned from filming Claire. Maybe Claire can step in as camera person.

[TheBookDoctor]

I appreciate that your fridge is realistically jam packed with actual stuff like actual people have, rather than the usual barren, empty stage fridge you see in most cooking shows.

[deejaydubla]

I'd just like to reaffirm that I'm very happy Vinny is your producer.

[tamatinicholas]

Can we take a moment to appreciate the editor perfectly aligning the apple slicing with the music.. it was satisfying

[tosht]

I looked at the thumbnail and thought “what the heck is going on?” Thank goodness Claire didn’t make me wait for the answer. Hilarious. 😆

[valerie]

Claire is the type of person that will painstakingly do something incredibly detail-oriented and time-intensive even though it's 100% not required and I love it because... same.

[rydrew]

Claire is the Fairy Godmother of Baking for a reason: her technique is simply impeccable, as seen in the first 20 seconds of this video XD

[persondessert]

9:15 THE SQUID GAME REFERENCE PLEASE claire tell me u have watched it

[persondessert]

“looks like a pop-tart!” “it does... we’re sort of making an open face pop tart” everything reminds me of Her

[gauravvikalp]

The music synchronised to Claire chopping apples- the content we need!

[bighugejake]

NON-USA PEOPLE NOTE: Apple Cider is different in the US. It does not contain alcohol. It's essentially unfiltered, unpasteurized apple juice. This is different from British/Canadian cider which is alcoholic. In the USA alcoholic cider is called "hard" cider.

[Mister_kipling]

I come for the tarts...I stay for the drum beats synced with the knife 🔪 🎶

[lechatbotte.]

That opening scene Claire trying to move the tart, with both hands and a spatula handle in her mouth epic. I was holding my breath. I adore tarts. My friend made authentic French pear tarts but apples yummy. NOW it’s officially fall.

[PurplePandaK]

I love how Claire ALWAYS has to check if there's space in the fridge during the episode 😂

[jessicahavill]

I actually made this one! It was really fun arranging the slices and eating leftover apricot spread.
