Tarte tatin is among the very best apple desserts on the planet. It's one of those meals with a scenic, however suspicious ancestry; legend has it that Stephanie Tatin, owner of a provincial French hotels and resort, left apples for a pie cooking for too long on the stove one day.
The majority of recipes merely define dessert apples; the floury attributes that make cookers so splendidly fluffy in a pie are completely incorrect for a tarte tatin, where the fruit needs to hold its shape throughout the cooking procedure. You can replace the apples for lots of other fruit; pear and prune or quince work perfectly.
