Sweet and savoury tarts tatin: 9 gourmet recipes to try!
Tarte tatin is good... but not just with apples!
When you think of tarte tatin, you immediately think of melting apples, caramel and crispy crust that you flip over at the end. It's the dessert we love to make when we want something simple, but that makes an impact. And the great thing about tatin is that the principle works with so many other ingredients. Keep the "upside-down" idea, caramelize or gently preserve... and you've got a golden, shiny, ultra-gourmet tart.
The sweet version remains a sure bet. But the savory version is a real surprise. And it's often the most popular at the table, because it's a real change. It's perfect for a light dinner with a salad, a brunch, an aperitif, or even a chic starter ;)
First of all, where does tarte tatin come from?
Tarte tatin is a French specialty known for being baked "upside down", with the apples underneath and the pastry on top, before turning the tart upside down at the end. It is often associated with the Tatin sisters, who ran a hotel in Lamotte-Beuvron, Sologne.
Today, we keep the basic idea, but twist it in all directions. And that's where it gets really interesting...

Mistakes to avoid for a successful tatin
- Too much juice in the bottom: it softens everything
- Dough too thin: breaks when turned out
- Turn out too soon: let rest for 5 minutes
- Forget to season with salt, pepper or herbs.
And above all, there's no need to strive for perfection. A slightly rustic tatin is often even prettier!
