Whether savory or sweet, the apple is an all-purpose workhorse. Muffins to pies, chutneys to candy, soups to nuts so they say, the apple can do it all. And, with so many new or revived varieties out there, there is certainly one for every palette. We still have our eye out for those gorgeous Instagram-able pink pearl apples, and are eating our fill of Honeycrisps! This recipe is a riff on mom's favorite dessert, and one of the first things we learned how to make in cooking school: the classic Tarte Tatin. Butter, sugar, and apples combine to create magic unlike any other. We put a little spin on it by adding in chai spices, as the warming notes of cardamon, ginger, cloves, cinnamon and black pepper marry with all that caramel goodness. Most everything happens in one pan, so don't let the caramel scare you off. It's well worth it!
