The "Larousse Gastronomique" dictionary states that the upside down apple (or pair) tart was an old specialty of the Sologne area. The Tatin sisters just made it famous.

  • If this can be verified and properly cited it would make a good addition to the article. Anyone got a copy of this book they can cite from? Stoo 01:21, 12 July 2006 (UTC)Reply

Not all of them use precooked apples, and there are records of tartes being made in this manner dating to the French Revolution; this entire entry is aprocyphal. --JustinZL 14:30, 7 November 2006 (UTC)Reply

How about a pronunciation edit

Could you give pronunciations- I think that would be most appropriate and less amateurish for your dictionary

Done. -Krasnoludek (talk) 10:42, 30 August 2009 (UTC)Reply

Dead Links edit

http://www.tarte-tatin.com/english/page/sommaire-en.html (external link) is not valid anymore. A lot of sites have the receipt, which site is the "good one" to be quoted here ?! --F5pbl 09:12, 10 August 2007 (UTC)Reply

Reference 2 link http://www.lanouvellerepublique.fr/LOISIRS/Livres-cd-dvd/La-tarte-Tatin-son-histoire-et-ses-legendes is not valid anymore.

The article is still approximative and partly made-up. I am French and have eaten plenty of Tarte Tatin throughout France, I have baked one just last week myself. The photo used as an illustration looks like nothing I would recognize as a tarte Tatin. The recipe is not standard as well, usually the apples are quartered and laid in a butter caramel, covered by a shortcrust pastry and baked directly. There is no "glazing". The fruit is not "usually apples", it is always apples, which does not mean there cannot be variations, but then it's not a tarte Tatin per se. Why not base this article on the French one? 37.169.14.214 (talk) 17:29, 12 November 2023 (UTC)Reply
