Tools for apple tarte tatin
These are the tools the Apple tarte tatin recipe itself calls for, and what each one does in it. We don't own, use or test these products ourselves, so nothing here is a personal recommendation.
9-inch cake pan
What the recipe uses it for: The template for cutting the pastry circle, then the pan the tart bakes in (steps 2 and 5).
What to look for: 9 inches across, solid bottom (not springform), so the caramel stays in.
Large saucepan
What the recipe uses it for: Cooks the butter and sugar into caramel, then the apples in it (steps 3 and 4).
What to look for: Wide enough to turn three quartered apples in one layer.
Serving plate
What the recipe uses it for: Goes over the pan for the flip (step 8).
What to look for: Wider than the 9-inch pan.
