Apple Tart Tatin (Tart Tatan)

Recipe by ChefSteps

A French‑style upside‑down apple tart with caramel‑infused apples, a flaky puff‑pastry crust and a glossy, buttery caramel sauce. The recipe uses a pectin‑firming poach, a wet caramel that’s deglazed with bourbon, and a two‑stage bake for perfect texture and flavor.
