What is Tarte Tatin?
Tarte Tatin (prounounced is “Tart Ta-tan”) is a tasty caramelized apple tart. It is named after the Tatin sisters, who created this unusual upside-down pastry at their hotel in France. While it looks fancy, it is in fact super easy to make!
Ingredients
Just 6 simple ingredients (plus whipped cream on top) are cooked in such a way as to create complex flavors! APPLES We use Honeycrisp apples for their texture and high sugar content. For a tarter tart (pun intended!) use Granny Smith apples instead! BUTTER Use salted butter for this recipe, it simply tastes better. Accept no substitutes, making a Tarte Tatin without real butter is not going to yield the same flavor. SWEETENER Honey and sugar mixed with butter are what creates the caramel apple perfection. DOUGH This recipe calls for a premade sheet of puff pastry keeping this recipe simple and quick.
How to Make Tarte Tatin
With a little care regarding temperature and time, anyone can make this super fancy-feeling French pastry! Here’s a brief overview of the process:
Voila!
Tips
Ensure the pastry is well chilled for best results. Tarte Tatin should be made in an ovenproof skillet. This dessert works best in cast-iron. Use real butter, natural honey, and good quality sugar. Buy the best fresh apples, too, since a dessert with just 6 ingredients relies on quality ingredients and some patience. Bon appétit!
