Mum baked the most delicious apple tart for us every Sunday. When we eventually went off to catering college, I remember ringing Mum up to tell her about a French upside-down apple tart called a tarte Tatin, which would later become the most iconic dish on our menu at Galvin. We even hold a tarte Tatin competition every year!
Usually with a tarte Tatin you arrange the apple halves flat-side down, but we prefer to stack them on their sides, so you get a good depth of apple. The cooking time might look a little long, but donât be tempted to take the tart out of the oven as soon as the pastry is brown; you need the full 1½ hours for the moisture to cook out of the apples, so their flavour becomes concentrated
