Arguably one of the most rustic French dishes is Tarte Tatin which requires no bowl, no baking tin, but it does require an ovenproof frying pan.

Why you’ll love this

Pears are the center stage

Thanks to the simplicity of this dish alongside,with a complimentary depth of a flavor added thanks to the ginger.

Honeyed Caramel

Adding a little honey to our caramel adds a depth of sweetness to our Tarte Tatin that compliments both our pears and that ginger.

Ingredients and substitutions for Pear Tarte Tatin

  • Butter: Unsalted butter was used here, though you can definitely used salted and omit the salt from the recipe.
  • Sugar: Brown sugar is used here to add a deep caramel flavor that helps draw out the natural sweetness in our fruit. You could substitute with superfine/caster sugar or raw sugar, or even use a mixture of two of these.
  • Pears: Concord pears were used here, but you can substitute with any old pears you have on hand, provided they aren’t too ripe. We want our pears to have a little bite so as to soften during baking and if they’re too ripe, they’ll be more likely to fall apart.
  • Ginger: Raw ginger was used in this Pear Tarte Tatin for a couple of reasons, firstly, the strong flavor of fresh can’t really be beat to balance out the sweetness of this dessert; and secondly, you need such a small amount to really give the proper ginger flavor that works best here. If you don’t have fresh on hand, you can substitute with 2 teaspoons of candied ginger that has been finely chopped or 2 heaped teaspoons of dried ginger.
  • Puff pastry: For the ease of things, store bought puff pastry was used here to make this a nice simple dessert that doesn’t require much effort or forethought.
