Loved it. I burnt the caramel the first time within 6 mintues on high so you have to watch it. The second batch came out awesome! It was easy and very tasty! My husband had seconds. I didn't have the vanilla bean but used extract once the butter was incorporated into the caramel.

Nice recipe! To think it was but one imperfect burnt apple pie that brought about this creation in 1898, central France. For a recipe with a short (history tid-bit, and an even shorter 30 minute preparation time we would like to share with you: frenchiness dot com/recipes -> Tarte Tatin! Bon appetit pour quiconque :

Sooo, delicious. The pastry has a lovely "slight" lemony flavor. My question is, is the vanilla bean really necessary. I think I'm going to try pure vanilla extract. The vanilla beans are way too expensive. When I saw Anne creating this on TV, I didn't notice that she had a second layer of apples. I followed the recipe to a T and had too many quartered apples left over???? I would suggest using a firm apple also. I used Empire, which I found a little too soft. Also, after making the dough, I placed it on wax paper and with my hands, rounded it into shape. No rolling pin needed here. Over all this is a very stunning, delicious recipe.

This is a truly a beautiful and elegant dessert. However, it’s not especially decadent or luxurious-tasting. I expected something more flavorful from a somewhat advanced recipe. The cake was light and the lemon zest gave it a very fresh flavor, but it wasn’t at all sweet. The apples cook perfectly with the caramel syrup, but again, not very sweet. If you’re an apple purist, this might be perfect for you. I just like something a little sweeter, a true dessert, after a meal.

Like the last rater, I also don't like giving out less that 5 stars. Unlike the last rater, I didn't get along with the lemon. Using Granny Smith apples brought enough tartness to the it without the lemon juice. I might be too used to the classic of just sugar, butter, and apples. What I did like was the more rustic crust than versions with puff pastry. Next time it will be Anne's pastry with my filling.

It pains me to give one of anne's recipes only 3 or 4 stars as I'm a big fan and have made some fantastic food with her help. If half-stars were available i would have given 3 1/2. First, i think tarte tatin is not usually a desert that you can get very excited about, so maybe that should be taken into account for my less-than-5 rating.
Second, i used McIntosh apples as that is what i had at home and it was on the list of suggested apples. IMO, you should not use these apples as a very firm apples would be better.
My final result looked beautiful. I was more pleased with it a few hours after making it than when it was warm.
The crust was great! Loved the lemon and nibbled heavily when it was raw.
I'm glad i made this as i learned something new but i doubt i will make this recipe or any other tarte tatin recipe again. I'd rather make apple crisp or apple pie with extra apples hanging around.

This was simple to make and great tasting. The crust was perfect and the filling was better than any others I've had. It will be my go to recipe for family events. The lemon juice kept it from being too sweet.

Crust was good, apples were good, was easy to make following her instructions, looked just like the video every step of the way. 4 stars because it was far too sugary tasting and not enough caramel-like flavor. Maybe its not suppose to have a caramel-like flavor, and I misinterpreted, but even then, too sugary. I'm normally not the person to shy away from something "too sweet" - but this was.

I was pumped to make this and was really bummed the way it came out. There was a very strange taste to the tart - it was like a burnt molasses. Love Chef Anne - this one was not a winner for me.
