Claire Saffitz Makes Foolproof Tarte Tatin & Rough Puff Pastry | Dessert Person

Watch as Claire Saffitz makes foolproof tarte tatin and rough puff pastry, two recipes from her cookbook, Dessert Person. For a recipe that is often touted as “simple,“ tarte Tatin is remarkably easy to screw up. Claire has made tarts where the apples overcaramelized and stuck to the skillet, stayed blond and released tons of moisture, or shrunk dramatically. Differences in the freshness of apples was always the problem. In this video Claire will show you a method to help coax out some moisture to help correct those problems and leave you with a delicious tarte tatin that is every bit as good as the traditional version. Claire believes this recipe with buttery pastry, caramel, and apples can not be beat in a dessert. #ClaireSaffitz #DessertPerson #TarteTatin FOOLPROOF TARTE TATIN Special Equipment: 10-inch ovenproof skillet Ingredients: 7 medium or 8 Pink Lady or any sweet-tart, firm baking apples (3 lb / ) 2/3 cup maple syrup (7 oz / 200g) 1/3 cup brandy
