Claire Saffitz Makes Foolproof Tarte Tatin & Rough Puff Pastry | Dessert Person

Watch as Claire Saffitz makes foolproof tarte tatin and rough puff pastry, two recipes from her cookbook, Dessert Person.
For a recipe that is often touted as "simple," tarte Tatin is remarkably easy to screw up. Claire has made tarts where the apples overcaramelized and stuck to the skillet, stayed blond and released tons of moisture, or shrunk dramatically. Differences in the freshness of apples was always the problem. In this video Claire will show you a method to help coax out some moisture to help correct those problems and leave you with a delicious tarte tatin that is every bit as good as the traditional version. Claire believes this recipe with buttery pastry, caramel, and apples can not be beat in a dessert.

I'm so proud of this one because I truly think it makes professional-level pastry results achievable at home. Tarte Tatin is hard, but this recipe breaks it all down. Make it for the holidays, be a baking hero!

[@celiagust6399]

It looks amazing, Happy Hanukkah!

[@camerashycoco]

Claire, your small kitchen, small refrigerator/ freezer, too many tools and not enough drawers, issues made my day. I mean, I wouldn't wish those on anybody, but since the vast majority of us struggle with these, it's nice to see that you can get professional results, in whatever kitchen you have. Also, I've been contemplating getting a cat. My very biggest issue is that they can jump. I have a girlfriend who has told me that you can keep them from doing that. I have yet to actually witness a cat not get on the counter. However, I've been told that it's impossible to prove a negative. So... Anyway, lovely video, keep up the good work!

What a beautiful episode! I've made hundreds of tartes Tatins in my life, and I always love watching other people make it. My technique is different from Claire's, but my emphasis is also on having the apples absorb the caramel and having a nice flaky pastry. I'm about to master rough-puff for my next Tatin. Julia always told us when she was teaching exactly why she was doing each step the way she was doing it. Claire is also a great teacher because she shares her thought process - including worries, mid-course corrections, and thinking on her feet - all the way through. Baking is magical. It's alchemy. But it's almost never a straightforward procedure, especially for the home baker.

"There's an apple out there for everyone." How I wish there was a Claire out there for everyone. 🥺

[@toomuchiridium]

I want a Claire 😥

[@DismemberTheAlamo]

at the very least one for each of us. (ill be nice you can have one also :P )

[@deanospimoniful]

There is, right here on KZbin. Gotta share, though.

[@FlusteredBushStudios]

i’m a lucky to have a Clare as friend, she’s pretty cool

[@valarmathei95]

I guess we all should be a Claire.. So that we'll have each other🥰

[@strafe_2391]

3 things: 1: I've been waiting for claire to get some solo videos up for a while! I LOVE IT! 2: I'm so grateful you were wearing your mask in public, Not saying you wouldn't or you shouldn't but 3: I'm definitely making this, you've convinced me.

[@thewobbinator401]

My heart! I missed Claire and her cooking. Glad she's back and a whole new channel! ❤️

[@matthewwilde1574]

I've been missing Claire so much and am so happy that she has her own channel! I missed her wholesomeness 🥺🥺🥺

[@michaelcartmell7428]

"So, let me show you what you'll need for this recipe" Such a simple statement: Why is this not a standard part of EVERY cooking channel?

[@joannaturkiewicz8949]

Really love these videos, Claire! As a semi-neurotic person, I always want to know WHY I'm doing the things i'm doing while baking. You make that clear to me in both your recipes and these videos without overwhelming me with facts.

[@nnagle9224]

This was an amazing process and a beautiful finished product. Thanks

[@shawnmisamore]

I love that you’re highlighting other people’s cookbooks at the end of your videos!

[@athennaannlim8374]

"I'm gonna stick them back in the fridge" Me watching Claire open her fridge: WHERE??

[@nodezsh]

Just tell me you don't relate. You won't.

[@bergenswald]

@@nodezsh my fridge is pretty empty, be cause I ain't got money lol

[@nodezsh]

@@bergenswald At some point in my life my fridge has been too empty. Other times too full. Either way I think lots of people have experienced not having space to store the damn cake, which was too tall and too wide, we even got leftovers and ate it for breakfast several days after that. Or something like that.

[@bergenswald]

@@nodezsh haha ofcourse, I once made a multi tiered cake and quickly realised...how the fuck is this thing going to fit in de fridge.

[@simpangtiga9304]

[@MrsMarielFigueroa]

Since apples don’t grow in Puerto Rico I was unaware of all the types of apples there are. To me they were “red”, “green” and “weird colored apples that are not red but not green”. 😂😂

[@VerouGonzalez]

SERIOUSLY YEEEES!! lmaooo por eso the red apples are my favs >.

[@mistybenefield5796]

Noooo, I love the varieties that are super crisp and slightly tart, like Fuji, honeycrisp, and pink lady.

[@MrsMarielFigueroa]

@@mistybenefield5796 That’s awesome I just don’t know the variety well because we don’t label them here... 😳

[@oldasyouromens]

Pink apples are the best apples. Also any one that is red mixed with green. Most folks don't like braeburns because they are mushy, but I always throw one in a pie mixed with gala or jazz apples, pink lady, and EXACTLY ONE GRANNY SMITH, to have a mixture of soft and firm texture and the right pectin and acidity.

[@AllegraVivace]

"So that just means I have to do a little extra coaxing with my rolling pin." *Opens up a can of whoop-ass on the pastry*

[@allisonsidley1067]

idk y but I immediately thought of leslie knope in that one episode lol

[@jlin592]

Bruh this comment made me laugh so hard lmao

[@Misspip1993]

j lin me too!

[@kmk3910]

If you added little posters or stickers of the animated characters to your online store I think they'd be a massive hit

[@WyomingGuy876]

On this episode: 1. Claire reveals that she uses Correlle Living Ware 2. The neighbors around her think she's a carpenter

[@wendydawe3874]

My first time watching your video. I really love your approach and clear instructions. Thanks .

[@PaolitaMagallon]

Thanks Claire for the recipe!!! My kids loved it! Tarte Tatin challenge... done 🥰!!! You’re amazing 🙏🏻☺️

[@OhMcKmac]

I LOVE seeing the mistakes. It makes me feel so much better about my baking know someone as experienced as Claire doesn't do it perfectly every single time.

[@sarahbonpierre8898]

Claire: “ Bad kitty!!” Also Claire with a muffled voice from snuggles: “But I can’t scold him because he’s the best” *Cuts to spraying counter with cleaner* If that’s not the life of a cat lover I don’t know what is

[@claudiagwilliam5641]

Just made tarte tatin following this tutorial. Thank you, Claire! it turned out just as good looking as yours. One favorite surprise is the glaze--Wow. trying to figure out what to put the glaze leftovers on. This is my first successful attempt thanks to the step by step instructions and demo. I also had my own home made puff pastry--turned out delicious! I may never again make normal apple pie.

[@Julie-wm8gg]

My book arrives tomorrow! Yesterday was my birthday and I treated myself to the book for a birthday present! I love to bake and I cannot wait to try your recipes

[@tati.l.]

Felix literally fighting Claire for his 5 minutes of fame in today's video. 😺

[@tati.l.]

I love the timestamps in the video - the organizational aspect of it is the Clairest thing to ever Claire, just like the recipe matrix in Dessert Person.

[@shermansherbert2570]

Claire, your voice is so comforting to hear - I’d listen to you reading the phone book!

[@danielnuno3693]

Congrats on starting your own channel! So glad I found this. As a former food runner/expo i can say pastry chefs are the coolest in the kitchen.
