balsamic vinegar 1Tbsp

fresh thyme leaves or 2 tsp dried thyme 300grams

puff pastry, defrosted if frozen 100grams

grated cheddar or emmental

Recommended wine: Cream Sherry, Moscato Dasti, Port

Tarte Tatin works really well with Cream Sherry, Moscato d'Asti, and Port. A common wine pairing rule is to make sure your wine is sweeter than your food. Delicate desserts go well with Moscato d'Asti, nutty desserts with cream sherry, and caramel or chocolate desserts pair well with port. The NV Johnson Estate Cream Sherry with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 19 dollars per bottle.
