I am submitting this recipe for Peach Tarte Tatin to Meeta’s Monthly Mingle, which is being hosted this month by Cook Sister!
In my first attempt at making a tatin I went with the traditional apple tarte tatin and even though it sort of worked, it did not come out of the dish I baked it in as easily as it should. There were a lot of obstacles in my way – the first being that the base of my tagine is too deep, and the other is that it does not have handles! I decided to buy myself a Le Creuset Tatin Dish, 
Peach Tarte Tatin Recipe

Method
- preheat the oven to 200° Celsius

Your tarte looks lovely. Grrrr for tempting me to make another purchase!
*runs and hides*
Ive got one of these and have never regretted the initial outlay.
I make the Apple Tarte Tatin and add almonds, raisins and a little brandy, its always a winner. Im going to try the peach one now, thanks.
thanks for the inspiration! I am going to make one with pears and add a few extra’s 🙂
Oh my word……I want a large slice of that gorgeous tart right now with an enormous dollop of cream 😀
*sends plate over* Enjoy!
I made my first tart a few weeks ago, and will have to try peaches, especially as they are in season.
I am going to try pears next 🙂
Seems I might be spending more money than intended when I get home!
Your tarte looks fabulous – I love recipes with few ingredients that produce such a wonderful result.

this is a great party trick as you can put it in the oven when you sit down for mains 🙂
Oooh I really fancy the tart tatin and the Le Cruset dish. Hope I can get the latter here in Dubai.
thanks! Try at Jashanmal in Wafi, Oud Metha 🙂
I have been eyeing that Le Creuset piece of genius for a while – thanks for justifying the purchase for me!
my pleasure! Enjoy it 🙂
