Desserts in French sentences

Question

Why is 'Apple tart with cream' translated as plural in French? , and shouldn't it be Tarte 'du' pommes instead of 'aux'?

Céline Pickard · Accepted Answer

Bonjour Nadine,
To express "apple tart" in French, you will always use "aux"  because you're referring to what the food is  flavoured with/made with:
Une tarte aux du pommes = An apple tart
-> Always with "aux" and it's made with apples (and "lots of" them)
Un gâteau à la vanille = A vanilla cake
-> flavoured with vanilla
Take a look at the links below:
de versus a aux
boite aux bijoux
I hope this is helpful.
Bonne journée !

Céline, I am sure you meant to write ‘ Une tarte aux pommes ‘ ( not ‘ aux du pommes ‘ ). Oops !
