Apple and Rosemary Tarte Tatin
Photography Manja Wachsmuth.
Serves: 6–8
INGREDIENTS
100 grams butter
½ cup brown sugar
juice of ½ lemon
4 cooking apples
1 teaspoon finely chopped rosemary
Pastry
200 grams plain flour
175 grams unsalted butter
100 grams sour cream
METHOD
Place the butter, sugar and lemon juice in a 26 cm heavy-based ovenproof frying pan. Cast iron is ideal. Bring to the boil and gently simmer for 4-6 minutes or until caramelized. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool a little.
Peel, quarter and core the apples. Make 5-6 slices through each quarter, leaving them intact at one end. Toss the apple through the rosemary.
Pastry: Preheat the oven to 180°C. Place the flour, butter and sour cream in a food processor and pulse until just combined. Transfer to a lightly floured surface and roll out to a 28 cm diameter circle. Place the apples in the caramel with the rounded sides down then gently place the pastry over the pan. Trim it, using the edge of the pan as a guide. Tuck the pastry in and around the edges using the back of a spoon or a palette knife.
Bake 25-35 minutes or until the pastry is puffed and golden. Rest for 10-15 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate. Serve warm, in slices, with cream or ice cream.

We start by sharing what’s on the dish team’s radar, what we’re watching, listening to and reading. Harry Butterfield puts a twist on his Nonna’s agnolotti, Malissa Fedele reminds us of the importance of fibre, and Phoebe Holden fulfils a long-held dream, sitting down with Yotam Ottolenghi. Autumn is an abundant time, we make the most with pumpkin, kūmara, cabbage, cauliflower, feijoas, apples and pears. We’re dishing up dinners for two, including a Chicken Dumpling Lasagne, alongside easy weeknight meals. We honour our mums, revisit timeless classics, and add a little baking challenge. This issue, we encourage you to slow down, to enjoy writing your shopping list, and spending time in the kitchen. Because even when life feels relentless, there’s always space to share something delicious.
