The Tarte Tatin, another classic of French cuisine! Traditionally with apples, I made variant of this recipe: an Apple and Pear Tarte Tatin.
Tarte Tatin, a recipe that always works!
Tarte Tatin is really a recipe that works every time! Served hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, it’s a classic dessert that no one can resist.

The advantage of the tarte tatin is that it can be made with almost any fruit. It is perfect for using fruits which are not looking nice anymore because unlike the traditional tart, the fact that the fruits cook in the caramel and under the dough hides their flaws.
In addition, making a tarte tatin is super-fast if you use ready-made puff pastry. You can prepare everything in advance and bake the art at the last minute only.
Have you ever tried the savory tarte tatin? This is one of the first recipes I posted and one of my favorite express meals! Check out my recipe for Vegetable Tatin tart.
