Nice idea using the halves. Sometimes slices can be overwhelmed by the sweetness of the caramel. This is one of those dishes we associate with a place, the long closed Au Tatin in the Marais neighborhood of Paris--on a bitterly cold, snow-wept January night when nothing could warm you except a Calvados and a slice of Tatin. Nice story about the family.
This is such a beautiful dessert with an interesting history. I have always been a bit intimidated by the process, especially after watching Julia Child make one years ago! Nothing stopped her!
There was me, thinking that "Tatin" was simply another French word for apple, like pomme, only maybe in a regional dialect. 😂 Seriously, tres magnifique, and since I loaded up at the orchard today, I'll look forward to making it!
What a cute anecdote! I suppose necessity is the mother of (delicious) invention! Such lovely photos, too—I was transported to France for a moment 😊 A fun read as always, Jolene!
Oh, just when I was thinking it was time to write about apples, you post about this wonderful dessert! So glad to learn about the Tatin sisters and to have a new recipe to try for all the fall and winter holidays!
Gorgeous post, Jolene! Tarte Tatin is one of my favorites. I’ve never tried making it but looks like I’ll be adding another apple dessert to my To Bake list!

You have made me think about apple picking! Looks scrumptious Jolene. Thanks for the interesting background story.
Sorry but found the history and tips but not the recipe.
