Tarte Tatin is a classic French dessert that features caramelized apples beneath a layer of buttery pastry. Named after the Tatin sisters who popularized it, this upside-down tart has become a beloved treat worldwide. The combination of tender, sweet apples and crisp, flaky crust makes it an impressive yet simple dessert to prepare.
- Choose firm apples that hold their shape well during cooking, such as Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
- Ensure your butter is cold when you cut it into the flour for the pastry to achieve a flaky texture.
- Cook the apples over medium heat to avoid burning the caramel; it should turn a rich golden-brown color.
- Roll out the pastry slightly larger than the pan to ensure it covers the apples completely.
- Let the tart cool for a few minutes before flipping to allow the caramel to set slightly, making it easier to release from the pan.
Creating Tarte Tatin at home is a rewarding culinary project that yields a dessert as delicious as it is beautiful. With carefully selected apples and a bit of patience, you'll find this upside-down tart not only impresses guests but also captures the essence of French patisserie. Enjoy your Tarte Tatin warm with a dollop of crème fraîche or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for the perfect finish.
