Reply #27: OUI, a tarte tatin is a very good choice in that season.

It'll be très français and the link given by bluntchef gives a good recipe (the 1st one http://frenchfood.about.com/library/bltarttatin1.htm)

Anyway, in the end it says "Rearrange any apples that may have fallen out. Serve warm."
But
1st: it MUST be served with fresh cream (in a separate plate, people choose the amount they want. The fresh cream must be at the room temperature (or a bit chilled out by the fridge but not too much) to contrast with the gently warm pie. Normandy fresh cream would be perfect but I guess US fresh creams (cow milk) are ok too certainly.)

2nd: If apples have fallen out something got wrong (maybe not enough sugar or butter but certainly more because the pie is still too warm . On the other hand if the pie doesn't seem a bit "fragile" so it is too cold) ;) Anyway it can be delicious even if it's not perfect!:).

Bon diner à toi et tes invités.
