Tarte Tatin

Tarte Tatin 

 Do you know that apples are one of the first fruit to have been cultivated in the world? (Even the golden apple caused Trojan war!) Given that I can't imagine living without it. Starting the day with a bite of apple is the long-time routine now.

 As long history as it has, its usage is versatile ; Apple pie, salad, cider, juice, dish with sausage (it's Delia's recipe which I love!) and tarte tatin.

 Despite the fact that the history of tarte tatin isn't long, it has been making its big room for popularity all over the world. Thanks the Tatin sisters, who had contributed to its popularity in their restaurant.

 Like you know, it's an upside-down tart with caramelised apples covered with buttery crispy puff pastry. When it's turned over, the caramel from apples soaks the puff pastry. No offence! but I always find it becomes too soggy.. Then chef Fran solved the problem by baking apples and pastry separately. It makes big difference which no juice make the pastry any longer when it's assembled!

 This is an individual portion, which is small, can't share with anyone! We need 'Judgement of Paris' since Eris, goddess of discord dropped the tarte tatin into us - Not 'For the fairest one' but 'For the happiest one'
