Definition: Boaiteaux are a popular French dessert, similar in flavor to but slightly different from apple pie. They are typically made with a light filling that usually contains sugar, cream, or chocolate and served as a sweet, warm, and savory delight. The Boaiteaux are traditionally prepared with a combination of butter, cream, and fruit puree, which is then baked until golden brown. The traditional method involves melting the butter in a saucepan over low heat, adding sugar to taste, and allowing it to bubble slowly for about 10-15 minutes. Once the mixture is bubbling and sugar has dissolved, it's added to the cream. The result is a creamy, thick, and rich dessert that is often served with an apple pie or other sweet treats. Boaiteaux are enjoyed as a dessert, both by themselves as a light and refreshing treat, and also by adding them as a topping or garnish for applesauce, cookies, cakes, or even smoothies.
