[@PreppyKitchen]

Hi Friends! Since Autumn is my FAVORITE time of year for baking, I'll be uploading a third video every week on Saturday mornings at 9AM Eastern Standard Time. The first one is going up tomorrow! I hope you enjoy them ♥John

[@MegaElementalHero]

I love that you leave the odd mistakes you make in the video, it's very cute and it makes me feel better about my baking abilities 🤣

[@annewatson4786]

I totally agree-we all make mistakes while cooking and /or baking-I believe it’s how we improve-sometimes our mistakes make food better!!

[@ppj1115]

I love this too! Aside from adding humor I appreciate how this shows us how to resolve problems or allays concerns about things that are not that significant Mistakes will happen...great to know how to navigate them. Finally, kudos to the person who films and edits these videos. They are very polished and well-paced. Thanks!

Growing up in the 70's I remember red delicious apples being very sweet & juicy, but you're right, somewhere along the line the flavor changed & now they do not taste good.

[@matildabishops9196]

They also seem to be mushy…& you know they are fresh.

[@rosemarykarlsson593]

Red Delicious are for eating, NOT for baking, they go to mush. I've used Granny Smith but there are many new varieties that may be better.

[@chookettelove]

I grew up eating this dessert with multiple fruit because my mom is a tatin expert lol. Bananas, figs, apples… but my favorite as to be tomato! Try it I promise you it’s delicious! We eat it as an entree, and we had it at our restaurant everyone loved it!

[@tangible3923]

What kind of tomatoes?

[@chookettelove]

@@tangible3923 you can use any kind you want but I would avoid cherry tomatoes!

[@ObliviousEmpress]

[@stevewhiting556]

My grandmother used to make something similar with peaches. She would use Karo syrup and a little cinnamon and butter for the sauce. Then she would take canned pilsbury butter biscuits and put those on top and then bake it. It was delicious. I’m going to try your recipe this week. I haven’t had grandmas peach dessert in 20+ years and this reminded me.

[@saysoun752]

At first, I thought it was a pear tarte tatin, which is what I usually make them with as I'm not a huge fan of apples.

[@sanlic2968]

My two daughters and I just finished eating this for the first time. Absolutely delicious!

My favourite back again!!! Honestly ur recipes are so accessible nd easy to make as an amateur /homebaker. Thank you for sharing ur expertise with us.

[@jerseygirlsouth8913]

I like Honeycrisp and Fuji apples. They are naturally sweet and you don't need to add as much sugar to your recipe. Plus they hold up well to baking.

I recently arrived from France, I ate this tarte tatin for the first time in my life and I really liked it. I made your recipe yesterday and let me tell you that the result was super good. I made the recipe double in everything except the dough because my dish was larger. This is a recipe that I would make again, I like the idea of ​​a crust more than 2 of our conventional tarts. The only thing is that I will add a little cinnamon next time. Thank you for this delicious recipe.👍🥰🇨🇦

[@carolynvaughan3188]

I’ve tried a few times to make an apple tarte tatin but the caramelisation has never been right. Followed your recipe today and it’s just right and tastes amazing. Thank you.

[@rogerhinman5427]

Well, as a kid growing in Western New York back in the 1960's I lived next to an apple orchard and earned money picking apples. They grew Red Delicious and they were my favorite eating apple. Really tasty. Now they are meh. I prefer Fuji apples.

[@PreppyKitchen]

So interesing! I wonder what happened with the variety.

[@rogerhinman5427]

@@PreppyKitchen I would think being bred more for output than flavor. From what I remember, forcing increased growth tends to decrease flavor.

I remember a honey crisp variety we sold as scouts in the 80s...like biting into literal honey! Never saw those again.

[@lillianmanning-3671]

Wow! That looks yum! I’ve tried at least 15 of your deserts, and let’s just say I’ve never gone back! My favorite apple to use for my standard apple pies and crips, are honey crisps, or Fuji apples! I live in New England too, and the apples here are so crisp! Love your recipes! 😋❤️

[@hori166]

I stumbled upon this exact method of making Tarte Tatin after doing it the Julia Child way. The problem with the traditional approach is you can't control the amount of liquid released by the apples. I use a simple pâte brisée aka pie crust made with a combination of butter and vegetable shortening which produces a firm crust. Also, if you let the Tarte cool down to lukewarm--you can pick up the pan--it will unmold easily without the juices running over, which I suspect was cleaned up in the second shot of the finished Tarte. French purists eat Tarte plain, but's also served with crème fraîche which is a nice contrast to the sweetness of the Tarte. I had the original at the Hôtel Tatin in Sologne, France but wasn't too impressed. Yours looks gorgeous!

[@UpperGerbil]

I tried making my own tarte tatin and it came out decent. But this recipe, I’m going to use it for the rest of my LIFE!

Cox’s Orange Pippin by far the best apple in every aspect.

[@terry94131]

Believe it! Here in western Pennsylvania, a few orchards have red delicious apples that are pretty tasty. But they are old varietals raised along with heirloom apples. The red "delicious" apples sold today are like eating a softball.

I use the sugar and water proportions as in the recipe but microwave the mixture in a clear Pyrex measuring cup for 8 minutes to achieve a good amber color, beginning to watch closely at 7 minutes. I add the butter, stir and place this mixture in a porcelain covered iron pan. This seems like a foolproof way to make the caramel. I use the same proportions, ingredients and method (except for adding the butter) when making caramel for flan. Easy peasy.

Having made tarte tatin with both Granny Smith and Honey Crisp apples, can confirm that Honey Crisp retains its shape better and the tarte comes out looking soooooo much prettier. The Granny Smiths turned to jam in the high heat required to cook the puff pastry.

[@mohitkapur8919]

I have used Golden Delicious Apples. They retain their shape, not sure if this is what the French do

[@susanh5585]

I’m making this right now. I’m terrified my sauce as directed is much waterier. It also looked like you used a whole cube of butter? I opted for 6 Tbsp. Still waiting for “deep amber” while cooking the apples……🙏🙏🙏 I’ll report back! Well, the apples shrunk significantly and I stuffed my 10” heavy calphalon skillet. Then I didn’t end up with enough apples to fill it, so I used a 9” cake pan, which was perfect. I used my own pie crust which was too soft to tuck between the hot pan snd the hot apples. But the cooking time was correct, my caramel bubbled up some, but it didn’t matter. I think 15 minutes was too long to cool in the pan. Some apples stuck on the turn out. I was able to replace them and it tasted delicious!!! Thank you 😊

[@triciaknight9255]

[@philippoon8879]

Looks delish, if you're going to try it with pears you can use quince or the bosc pear in place of the apples as these have appropriately firm texture that is required for cooking while maintaining its shape.
Attempting puff pastry may be a bit of work and planning, but results are well worth it. But if you don't feel like it or if time strapped buying puff pastry out of the freezer section is acceptable, since puff pastry requires freezing for best results.
I wouldn't really use just one variety of apples, like apple pie there's no specific breed of apple that is best for that application, it's a blend of apples such as Granny Smith, Honey Crisp, Gala, Fuji or any apple that will hold its shape when being cooked. If there's caramel involved, Granny Smith is the best one for the purpose.
Tarte Tatin wasn't invented on purpose, it was invented by mistake as they forgot the crust for the apple pie. Many dishes we're invented by mistake such as Pot Stickers and maybe chocolate lava cake.
