- Phyllo dough — Keep the phyllo dough sheets covered with a damp cloth while working to prevent them from drying out.

- To enhance the flavor, sprinkle some crushed walnuts or almonds over the caramelized apples before adding the phyllo dough.
- Serve the Greek Tarte Tatin with a dollop of Greek yogurt or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a delightful contrast of flavors.
- If you prefer a sweeter dessert, drizzle some additional Greek honey over the tart before serving.
- Make sure to let the tart cool for a few minutes before inverting it to ensure the caramel sets properly.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven before serving.
