“An Apple Tarte Tatin is a French basic and couldn’t be less complicated to make. We desire to make use of home made pâte feuilletée (or puff pastry), but it surely seems simply as pretty with a high-quality, all butter store-bought model resembling Dufour. It’s vital to make use of crisp apples that maintain their form and we’re significantly keen on the Pink Girl selection for this recipe. The Calvados is non-obligatory, and we discover it to be a pleasant, festive addition.”
