Hi Diana,
Small, firm cooking apples (ie Russets) seem to work best and not cooking them in advance helps to keep their shape. As for the caramel, getting the heat just right is delicate – letting the tart sit for 10 minutes before turning it onto a plate helps avoid caramel leakage.
Let me know how it turns out and any suggestions.

Hi Tes,
tarte tatin is a simple recipe, you can even buy the pastry if you don’t have time to make it.
Getting the caramel right is the only tricky part.

Tarte tatin has always been my favorite fruit dessert. I’ve made it about 7 times; the second time, I chose the wrong type of apples and I wound up with applesauce tarte tatin. What I find different in your recipe is that you don’t have to cook the apples in the caramel prior to putting it in the en. Often the simplest-sounding things are the toughest to make; in this case, you can screw up the caramel, you can overcook the apples, it can leak over the sides, you can leave it in the pan too long and you can’t unmold it….I will try this recipe and hope it’s the most successful one I’ve found.
