Tarte Tatin

Tarte Tatin is a delicious dessert that can be homemade or bought from a grocery store. If you buy a pre-made Tarte Tatin, it will likely have a use-by date on the package. You should stick to this date to ensure the quality and safety of the dessert. Once opened, a store-bought Tarte Tatin, whether refrigerated or kept at room temperature, should be eaten within two days. If your Tarte Tatin is homemade, it should be safe to eat for about two to three days if kept in the fridge. Freezing a Tarte Tatin isn't commonly done because it may affect the texture of both the apples and the pastry.

If you're not familiar with Tarte Tatin, it may be tough to identify if it's gone bad. It's fairly simple though. If you see any mold developing on the surface of the Tarte Tatin or if it smells off, it’s a clear indication that it's gone bad. Also, if the pastry becomes very soggy and there's a fermented, alcohol-like smell, it's likely spoiled and should not be consumed.

• Always store Tarte Tatin in an airtight container in the fridge. This helps to maintain freshness and prevent bacterial growth. • If you want to enjoy the Tarte Tatin over a course of few days, consider cutting a slice only when you're ready to eat. This way, the remaining Tarte Tatin isn’t exposed to air which can speed up the spoiling process. • If you've baked a Tarte Tatin and it's not cooled down yet, don't put it in the airtight container or in the fridge immediately as the condensation can make it soggy. Let it cool down completely before storing.
