Tarte Tatin

If you have eaten in L'Estrade in the village you are sure to have tasted their Tarte Tatin made daily by Anne Laurence.


For my 50th birthday (now last year) the girls bought me a copper 'moule' the dish needed to make a tarte, together with the promise of showing me how to make one. And we finally got round to organising the lesson this week.


12 golden delicious apples to start


in the pan, brought gently to the boil with lots of butter and sugar, then simmer.............

to bring a lovely aroma and colour and the layer of caramel begins to form, this is the most difficult part!
Anne Lo applies the home made pastry




Looking pensive - the pressure is mounting!




Bringing the tarte out the oven, its all in the turn!



pretty good result for the first attempt


Anne Lo just adding the caramel 


ready to serve to our guests for dinner - enjoy!
