Upside-Down Apple Tarts

Trader Joe's Apple Tatin Tartelettes are Sold Frozen for Easy Serving

— December 22, 2023 — Lifestyle
Trader Joe's new Apple Tatin Tartelettes are a delicious way to end your day.

The first tarte tatin was originally invented by Stéphanie Tatin, co-owner of the Hôtel Tatin, when she accidentally cooked some apples in butter and sugar for far too long. To salvage her dessert, she added a layer of pastry over the apples and then popped the whole pan in the oven, resulting in a delicious upside-down dessert.

Today, the tatin is a staple of French cuisine and now it's a staple at Trader Joe's. The grocery store brand's new Apple Tatin Tartelettes were made for Trader Joe's by a supplier in France who carries out the time-consuming baking process. The pastries are then frozen so all you need to do is heat them up in the microwave or oven and enjoy.
