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
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!
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.
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.👍🥰🇨🇦
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!
John i love your style of presentation. You don’t give a life history of your mother grandmother and the orchards you picked fruits as a kid that drags on and on. You get right to the point.
I have made a few tarte tatin recipes, one from NYT Cooking, smitten kitchen etc and they never quite turn out right. Cooking the apples separately and then using a pie pan makes for fool proof success. Thank you!
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.
This is my husband's favorite dessert, only I make it with pears. Your way looks SO much easier than the other ways I've done it. I make a lot of your recipes, and love your channel. ❤️❤️
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.
I’ve never watched a cooking tutorial that actually walked you through every step of the process, but you did wonderful! I’m going to try this recipe, thank you! ❤️
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!
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.
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! 😋❤️
I made this and it was absolutely to die for. Question tho, what is the big difference between this dish and an upside-down apple pie? I'm only asking because some people asked and now I'm curious
I’ve only made this twice - the second one was for Christmas dinner desert made with Harry & David pears that were a gift. Well. It beats apples all to hell. Epic with vanilla ice cream and/or sweetened whipped cream. Memorable!
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.
I'm a Fiji fan, can't lie. When I make Applesauce, I sometimes combine a few different varieties. Not sure who told me about this, but it makes a great sauce!
You’re awesome for helping me to become awesome!! I’ve never gone to buy puff pastry and don’t know where to look or what section of the store to go to. I assume frozen foods?
Granny smith and golden delicious are my fav! I'm not big on apples, only my son eats them so b4 they go bad i usually make a pie filling nd freeze it incase i get guests i cn jus make a quick pie.
Would love a video on Danish pastry. I can't eat bakery Danish after making it at home. FWIW, in Scandinavia it’s called Viennese pastry, as that’s where Scandinavians got it from.
Fantastic. Doing it right now! Look wonderful. Incroyable couleur! BTW; It is Tarte Tatin ! “Ta” like “fa”bulous and “Tin” like not Tine, like paint without t!
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 😊
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.
Hello John, I've just subbed to your awesome channel. I've always wanted to make a Tart Tartin. You make it look so easy mate. Cheers, Ray from England.
I hate anything with cooked apples. But I missed you so much that I actually watched this video. I must say that it looks so good that I'm going to try the recipe. You are converting me. Lol. We do have Granny Smiths here in South Africa, so I'll make it with that.
When I make apple crisp we like using both Macintosh and Granny Smith for the sweet and tangy taste. I live in Brighton Ontario and we live in the heart of apple country as well as wine country. In a few short months will be Applefest here which is the most popular festival in our area. I will give these apples a try in this recipe and if they don't work I will try your preference. ^_^
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.
I know what the title of this video is in my head, but every time I see it in my feed I automatically read it as "Foolproof Tater Tottin'" the first time. Thanks, John.
Loved your vid. The fact you made mistakes made me laugh and gave me confidence to give it a try. Could see you did not have enough apples in your skillet and you just road over it. love you for being normal. My tart tatin turned out fab. Thank you uk
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.
I love Jonathans and I never see them anymore. To me they are the quintessential fall apple and the only place I can get them is a small farm stand about an hour away.
In the UK and Ireland, a very common cooking apple is the Bramley's Seedling. While good, I don't think it's the best. The Arthur Turner is supposedly great for baking as it has a rather dry texture (no soggy dough). However, my favourites are Granny Smith and Braeburn (more a dessert apple but it stays SO sweet in bakes!) Also with you on the Red Delicious. Same with the Jonagored and Jonagold in recent years, they've lost their flavour. So sad, the Jonagold was one of my favourite dessert apples. I think Braeburn, a chilled Pink Lady (chilling makes it sweeter, no idea why), and Fuji are the best these days.
I think this does not look as good as it tastes! But definitely worth it :) the French know how to bake! More European pls ;) all the best from Germany.
Better way is to arrange the apples on top of the caramel until pan is filled and the apples are squeezed in tight. When in the oven the caramel will be boiling and rising to the top thus coloring the apples all over. That way you won't run short of apples especially since they shrink during cooking. You also won't have to arrange them with 2 forks, before adding the dough, which may damage the soft cooked apple. Puff pastry is not ideal but pate sucree or brisee or almond.

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 🤣
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!!

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.

Me too, but we learn from our mistakes, even his hehe😊

What kind of tomatoes?
@@tangible3923 you can use any kind you want but I would avoid cherry tomatoes!
My two daughters and I just finished eating this for the first time. Absolutely delicious!
John i love your style of presentation. You don’t give a life history of your mother grandmother and the orchards you picked fruits as a kid that drags on and on. You get right to the point.

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.
This looks delicious and elegant. Tempted to try with pears
Yessss!!!
When I first saw the picture I thought it was pears!
Way better with apples.

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.
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.
I made this yesterday and added a bit of cinnamon. It was ABSOLUTELY DIVINE.
This is my husband's favorite dessert, only I make it with pears. Your way looks SO much easier than the other ways I've done it. I make a lot of your recipes, and love your channel. ❤️❤️
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 have used Golden Delicious Apples, not sure if authentic.
Why don’t I live next to this guy? I love his energy and recipes!
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.
They also seem to be mushy…& you know they are fresh.
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.
I wish you (the reader of this) a very pleasant and happy moments with your loved ones. Stay Blessed
Emma from London

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!

Hi, i make this on a cheesecake base, mix of digestive biscuits and ginger nuts, love your recipe thanks, steve
one of my fav desserts. i always make it from your recipe. thank you
Cox’s Orange Pippin by far the best apple in every aspect.
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 made this a couple of days ago and also used your puff pastry recipe. The tarte was delicious and the puff pastry fantastic!
I'm a Fiji fan, can't lie. When I make Applesauce, I sometimes combine a few different varieties. Not sure who told me about this, but it makes a great sauce!
You’re awesome for helping me to become awesome!! I’ve never gone to buy puff pastry and don’t know where to look or what section of the store to go to. I assume frozen foods?
Yes, frozen food near bread. Ask store manager.
Granny smith and golden delicious are my fav! I'm not big on apples, only my son eats them so b4 they go bad i usually make a pie filling nd freeze it incase i get guests i cn jus make a quick pie.

Such an interesting twist on its cooking. Great job.
This looks so de-licious!!
Also, could you please share a recipe on how to make a good rainbow cake?
My 4 year old loves you! At the end your profile picture popped up and he said "looks great Mommy, I want to watch him make coffee" 😆
Aww that's so sweet!
You know I love coffee! Say Hi to your little one for me!
@@PreppyKitchen thank you!
I made brownies from your videos they tasted soo good thank you! 😃
You are right my family say so‼️
@@cococarpizo2735 😀😀
Love your recipes, thanks for this one..I have a question, what would you put on apples that calls for cinnamon, which you can't ear because it
I use Cortlands - for pies, applesauce, and eating. They are our family's favorite but are difficult to find outside of New England.
We have beautiful apples in the UK called Braeburn
I love Braeburn Apples!
@@PreppyKitchen 😊
Great.Thank you so much for this recipe ❤️❤️❤🇱🇰
I don't do any recipes ... dont even know how many grams are in a cup that u measure all the stuff , but i love your videos 🥰
This looks so mouthwatering and devine! Just made your flourless cake recipe and that was delicious 😋! Love whatever you prepare John❤❤💝💝💕💕💞💞
I love ENVY apples. They’ve become my favorite.
Fantastic. Doing it right now! Look wonderful.
Incroyable couleur!

So interesing! I wonder what happened with the variety.
@@PreppyKitchen I would think being bred more for output than flavor. From what I remember, forcing increased growth tends to decrease flavor.
@@rogerhinman5427 It's definitely like that with watermelon, so that makes sense.

I hope you ate the skins! Nutritious, delicious, and full of fiber.

Where do you get all of your copperware!? Love it
Im currently making it but even faster 30 mins the caramel never got tahta dark y just hope it tastes and looks good

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JOHN!!!💗
You deserve like before I watch video
Thank you Habiba!!
Would cinammon stray the recipe to far away from its roots? Could it be added during the caramelization or afterwards you flipped that beauty?
Do you immediately turn the tart after removing the tart from the oven== or should it rest a few minutes first?
Looks so beautiful! 😍😍
Thank you!! 😊
This is so easy to make
Do you cool the baked tart before inverting in on a serving plate?
Yes! I love your channel. Subscribed.
Yummy I love tarte tatin! I'm definitely gonna make it.😋🤗
Not sure what kind but my favorite apple is Honey Crisp
good recipe
Quite discerning about apples...Fuji apples and the supply thereof basically chose the location of my humble abode,
amazing and yummy tarte tatin..
This recipe is my second favourite, first being Claire Saffitz Tarte Tatin!💫
I think this does not look as good as it tastes! But definitely worth it :) the French know how to bake! More European pls ;) all the best from Germany.
Gala apples are my favs
I love the tartness of granny smith

I remember having red delicious apples in the mid-1950s and they certainly had more flavor then, but they were still not a McIntosh!
Do you have a website? And do you put recipes on there to print off?
Love to use pink lady apple
