Yes, there’s some butter and salt and sugar in this Crisp Apple Tarte Tatin recipe. But it’s a dessert that needs to be celebrated!
I was invited to the premiere of The One Hundred Foot Journey produced under Disney’s Touchstone Pictures label. The images and recipes were provided to me by Disney to feature and talk about the delicious foods inspired by different cultures. I have created multiple posts to feature aromas and food ideas that are creative fusion of Indian and French cuisines. Celebrate the journey! Try these recipes in your kitchen.
Chef Bal Arneson of Food Network got creative with the recipes she specifically prepared to honor the traditions, the flavors and careful selection of ingredients that was so conspicuous in The 100 Foot Journey movie. A tarte tatin recipe is a classic French recipe. Though this recipe was not featured in the movie, Chef Arneson included it as her inspiration of the unique ways to prepare desserts with fruit.
Enjoy the recipes brought to you by Chef Bal Arneson and stay creative in your own kitchen!
In celebration of a new movie coming out in a couple of weeks, we’re in the mode of offering your real recipes from The Hundred Food Journey to try in the comfort of your home.
THE HUNDRED-FOOT JOURNEY arrives in theaters everywhere on August 8th, 2014!
But the recipes this movie has inspired could live in our kitchens for a long time!
Crisp Apple Tarte Tatin Recipe
- CRUST
- 1/2 Cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 Cup all-purpose flour, plus extra for rolling
- 1/4 Cup sugar
- Pinch of salt
- 1 Egg yolk
- 2 Tbsp ice water
- FILLING
- 1 Cup sugar
- 1/3 Cup fresh apple cider
- 1 Lemon, juiced
- 1 tsp Vanilla
- 1/2 Cup (1 stick) unsalted butter, cut into pieces
- 4 to 6 Granny Smith, Golden Delicious or McIntosh apples
- GARNISH
- 1/4 Cup heavy cream
- Fleur de sel
- 1. Prepare the crust. Combine butter, flour, sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse until it resembles fine meal. Add the egg yolk and 1 to 2 tablespoons water, pulsing until a ball of dough forms.
- 2. Place the dough on a lightly floured surface and roll into a circle 11 to 12 inches in diameter. Cover with lightly floured plastic wrap. Place on a baking sheet and refrigerate for a minimum of one hour.
- 3. Preheat oven to 425F.
- 4. To make the filling, combine sugar, apple cider, lemon juice and vanilla in the tarte tatin dish. Stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a boil over high heat, stirring constantly. The mixture will color and eventually become a deep amber. At this point, remove from heat and immediately stir in butter, a few pieces at a time.
- 5. Arrange the apples round-side down in the pan. This will become the top of your tarte, so be creative. Return the pan to medium-low heat, and cook another 10 to 15 minutes, being careful not to burn the caramel.
- 6. Remove the pan from the heat and place the dough circle over the top, pressing the edges down between the apples and the pan. Bake 10-15 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown. Remove from oven and allow to cool 10 to 15 minutes.
- 7. Invert a cake plate or other serving dish on top of the pan. Gently flip it over and allow the tarte to fall onto the plate.
- 8. Drizzle with cream and sprinkle with fleur de sel.

Madame Mallory’s (Helen Mirren) icy protests against the new Indian restaurant a hundred feet from her own escalate into a heated battle between the two establishments until Hassan’s (Manish Dayal) passion for French haute cuisine — and for Madame Mallory’s enchanting sous chef, Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon) — combine with his mysteriously-delicious talent to weave magic between their two cultures and imbue Saint-Antonin with the flavors of life that even Madame Mallory cannot ignore.
At first Madame Mallory’s culinary rival, she eventually recognizes Hassan’s gift as a chef and takes him under her wing.
