Tarte tatin is a classic baked French dessert that just uses just pastry dough, butter, apples, and sugar to create magic! You can use puff pastry if you prefer. No matter how yours comes out, you'll enjoy it!
Ingredients
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 0.75 cups white sugar
- 3 large Granny Smith apples - peeled , cored, and quartered
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 unbaked pie crust , 9-inch
Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).

Coat a heavy-bottomed 10-inch oven-proof skillet with butter. Sprinkle sugar evenly over the top of the butter.

3
Place apple quarters, rounded sides down, on top of the butter and sugar in a circular pattern.

Place skillet over medium-high heat and cook until butter melts and sugar dissolves and begins to caramelize. Continue to cook until apples soften and caramel begins to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat.

Sprinkle work surface with flour and roll pie dough into an 11-inch circle. Pinch edge to create a ruffle around crust.

Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Place a plate over the top of the pan and carefully invert to release tarte from the pan. Scrape any remaining apples stuck to the pan back on top of crust.

Duck à l'Orange
Duck à l'orange is one of those classic dishes that somehow became a cliché, and people stopped making it for fear of looking un-cool, which is too bad, since it's really good. This is traditionally done with a whole roasted duck, but by using duck breasts we get pretty much the same results in a lot less time.
