When the nice people over at POM Wonderful sent me a case of pomegranate juice, I knew it was time to make this recipe. I reduced a few cups of pomegranate juice to make a thick and tangy syrup.
The apples are cooked on the stovetop in butter and sugar, then seasoned with a touch of allspice and the pomegranate syrup. A simple tart dough is laid over the top of the pan and the whole thing goes into the oven to finish baking. I would recommend placing your pan on a baking sheet to catch the juices that might bubble over the top.
The recipe called for golden delicious apples, which I normally never buy. We tend to eat granny smith apples from our tree in the summer and braeburns during the rest of the year. I bought the golden delicious apples as specified, and they were delicious. The pomegranate syrup turned the apples a beautiful shade of red and added a great flavor. The sweet and tart nature of the pomegranate really tamed the richness of the apples, sugar and butter.

I could have a slice right now - it looks wonderful.
I never use golden delicious either, but maybe I should. This looks fantastic!
How beautiful is to have your own apple tree and can make this delicate sweet treat!
My sweet tooth shot to the sky :)

That's simply gorgeous.
That looks GREAT! How fortunate to rcv all that wonderful POM juice! Can we expect to see a lot of pom recipes?

This looks totally awesome! I love POM and their whole line, but it's really expensive up here for me. I usually treat myself to some on sale, though.
I LOVE pom, this is a great idea and it must be a perfect flavour combinations. Thanks!

Looks great! When I was growing up, we had an apple tree in my backyard too. I loved picking the apples and then making applesauce with them -- so much better than anything from the store!
Very nice! I love the POM and the tatin....yum-o.
LOVE POM! This looks so delicious, I can just imagine how the POM complemented all the other flavors!
Ingrid - My husband drank most of the POM juice, so this is the only recipe I got to make with it. :)
It looks really yummy.
Great photo and recipe x
I really want a tart now.
What a gorgeous tart to make from apples from your own tree!
Those folks at Pom Wonderful are really nice. Jannie, the pomblogger, found my blog and sent me another case of Pomegranate juice.
And your recipe is on my to-do list.
Love the colour from the POM, this looks great!
I have some POM on the way (Horray!), so I am going to bookmark this to try it with. What an unusual and yummy sounding dish!
The pom really does had a nice hue to the apples...and another level of sweetness for sure. You're lucky to have that tree there, so you can eat this all the time. :)
Oh so pretty. Yes, I want the tree - but I'll settle for the fact that I live near many orchards. And just started to cook with pomegranate.
I love the color the pomegranite gives this!
Sara, this looks wonderful!! I have been trying to come up with a POM dessert that doesn't involve sugar and you now have my mouth watering!!
Beautiful color! And I too am jealous of your apples!
This looks gorgeous Sara..Wonderful pic..:)
yum!!!! i love tart tatins, this one looks gorgeous!
Now I know just want to do with the Pom juice I have ... looks gorgeous!
Oh wow, what an awesome idea!
Oh wow! Anything with pomegranates gets my vote!
Wow..that looks fantastic! Almost too nice to eat!
I like the idea of pom syrup :)
Your tart tatin looks beautiful, Ilove the rich color!
Pomegranate? Anything with it sounds great. I love the combination with apple and even more that they are from your tree.
YUM!
You have an apple tree? I'm so jealous ;)
Not a huge fan of "delicious" apples either.
Those apples look so rich delicious! Nice of POM people to send you some liquid gold :)
I've never thought of cooking apples in pom juice, yummy idea. I so want to make this now, I love apples like crazy!
Apples and a case of POM? You're one lucky lady! This tart tatin looks amazing!
That tart is beautiful! I got some POM juice and reduced it to a nice sauce and put it over chicken! Delish! Wish I had this tart fot my dessert. :)
that is so beautiful!
The color is beautiful! I have to add this to my to-try list as well.
oh sara, this is an absolutely sensational use for that pom! you've taken an apple tart from good to tremendous. :)
This looks amazing Sara - oh how I'd love a slice!
This looks gorgeous! Too perfect to dig in... but not really, I'd still have to eat it. :)
What a lovely recipe, looks divine. We planted a fuji apple tree a couple of years ago, this year was the first time we have had apple blossom, so we're hopeful. :-)
Your apples are like rubies- so pretty!
For some reason my blog reader isn't updating me with your posts...I'm sorry I missed this when you posted it.
Nice! I got a case of POM, too--and working on some things to do with it, myself!
Yummy post about pomegranate. Unlike any other superfood such as acai or noni, pomegranate is not hard to come by and it comes cheap too.
i totally want to try this! it looks so good!
