This Sheet Pan Tarte Tatin recipe is a large-format take on the classic French apple dessert, made entirely in the oven instead of on the stovetop. In this video, Claire Saffitz shows how to caramelize over five pounds of apples in a jelly roll pan, then finish the tart with buttery pastry for a dramatic, crowd-sized dessert. While the sheet pan format may sound simple, this tarte Tatin is a true baking project, with several steps and plenty of hands-off time. The result is a deeply caramelized apple tart with classic flavors of sugar, butter, and fruit, perfect for holidays, dinner parties, or feeding a crowd. This oven-baked method makes it easier to scale up while preserving everything people love about traditional tarte Tatin. Whether you're looking for an elegant French dessert, a make-ahead apple recipe, or a sheet pan dessert for a crowd, this version delivers impressive results with thoughtful technique.
