Tarte tatin recipes
Sticky fruit, crisp pastry, golden caramel… Learn how to make classic French apple tarte tatin with recipes by Raymond Blanc, Matt Tebbutt and chefs the Galvin brothers – or discover new takes on this old favourite with our collection of the very best versions.
Swap out the apples and give peaches, apricots or figs the tarte tatin treatment in summer; in the colder months, try pears dressed up with marzipan and chocolate.
All that caramelising works a treat on vegetables too, and savoury tarte tatin recipes makes an excellent dinner party main or vegetarian option for a roast. Roasted onion tarte tatin with cheddar mascarpone, anyone?
Browse our favourite apple desserts, including apple galette with brown butter pastry, if you have an abundance of fruit this autumn.
