To peel and core the apples...
To peel and core the apples, you ideally need a vegetable peeler, an apple corer and a knife.
Apple tarte Tatin
Good classics are always a joy, and apple tarte Tatin is one of the great classics.
I went for a very generously filled tarte Tatin with 1.5 kg of apples. If you’d prefer a more balanced mix of pastry and apple, use just a kilo.
As for the variety, it’s all a matter of taste. As someone who likes sweet, mild apples, I chose the Gala, but you can go for the tarter Reine des Reinettes, or even the Golden or the Jonagored!! Ask your grower — depending on your taste and the apples of the moment, they’ll advise you best.
The recipe is pared right down. So it’s super easy and quick.

Preparation

Step 1
Put the butter and sugar straight into a sponge tin and heat until lightly caramelised.
With a brush, spread a little butter round the sides of the tin so the tart turns out easily.
Heat the oven to 180 °C.
Meanwhile, peel the apples, remove the pips and cores, and cut them in half (if using fewer) or in quarters (if you want to use 1.5 kg).
