I am so excited to be celebrating Tuesdays with Dorie’s second birthday by posting on time and in synch this week. Congratulations to our founder, and to those who have kept up faithfully for the last 104 weeks. You all should be proud of your accomplishments.
I must say, though, that I think the celebration makes this week’s Tarte Tatin selection especially enjoyable. It was the simplest of recipes (butter, sugar, apples, pastry dough), but I’m just loving it. Even though mine looks nothing like the photo is the cookbook, I’m loving the clean flavors. It’s really cold in Chicago right now, and warm apples with whip cream are just what the doctor ordered for when I’m snuggled up on the couch trying to stay warm and awake through the 10 p.m. news. Nevertheless, I think I would be equally comfortable serving this dessert for a dinner party in the dining room. It’s just that nice.
So tonight when I settle in for another slice of Tart, I’ll toast (with my fork) to another 104 weeks of baking with Dorie!

I’m trying to stay awake too! Although it’s not nearly as cold here as it is there, I’m really wishing I’d made the tart instead of the cake. It would have been perfect!
I’ve really enjoyed everyone’s tarte tatin.
Happy New Year!

This was good, wasn’t it. We enjoyed it as well.
