Before leaving for Blighty, Lady M gathered a few Bramley apples. We had a huge crop this year, and it seemed silly not to bring a few back.
I think I've mentioned before that Lady M has an Olympic gold medal in Tarte Tatin making, and the one above would probably have also been mentioned in despatches.
Any pie-makers out there who have not yet made a Tarte Tatin should do so immediately; it is by far the very best apple pie there is. Once eaten, never forgotten. Just be careful when you turn it over... which is why Lady M always asks me to do it. Hot syrup burns.
Go for the standard original recipe; it's the best and cannot be improved.
I will google for a recipe immediately. I love apples.
ReplyDeleteIt's the best apple pie there is. All that sugan and butter; what's not to like?
DeleteIt has always sounded scrumptious but I've never made it. Lucky you having Lady M in the kitchen doing the baking
ReplyDeleteShe tackles everything with flour or sugar, I do everything with meat and veg'.
DeleteOooh. All those yummy calories. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteThere's also a slimming version; you simply let ME eat it all.
DeleteHow wise for Lady M to save herself and instead rely on your greediness to serve the pie, in spite of the third degree burn risk.
ReplyDeleteI've recently had a nasty burn on my right arm, but nothing to do with Lady M's Tatin. My own silly fault.
DeleteI hope you made a nice dinner to go along with that wonderful pie.
ReplyDeleteAs it was a French evening, we dined on Duck Confit. What better!
DeleteWho cares about a spouse's looks or conversation - as long as she/he can bake a scrumptious tarte-tatin!
ReplyDeleteI'd almost agree with you, but Lady M has a very large rolling pin!
DeleteDelicious ..... Lady M certainly knows how to make desserts { and I'm sure her savoury dishes are just as good ! } Do you have cream or ice cream with it ..... or both ? ..... or custard ?XXXX
ReplyDeleteA large dollop of thick cream. Perfect.
DeleteI might look up instructions to make a Tarte Tatin. I have apples that need to be harvested and my usual apple crisps aren't much of a challenge. The fact that a Tarte Tatin needs to be flipped over makes me a bit nervous though.
ReplyDeleteThe flipping-over is always the tricky bit. All will go well as long as it's not too 'wet'.
DeleteA winner at any time
ReplyDeleteIndeed.
DeleteI have had plenty of English apple pies but never a tatin - must say it looks delicious.
ReplyDeleteIt's really an upside-down apple pie cooked with caramel. Lovely.
DeleteIs there a recipe? There are 100s if not 1000s on the Internet and yours looks scrumptious!
ReplyDeleteGo for the most basic. If it says add Pineapple or Raspberries ignore it.
