Tarte Tatin
Tarte Tatin is made by caramelizing apples in a skillet with butter and sugar. The apples are then covered with a layer of pastry dough and baked until golden brown. The tart is then inverted onto a plate so that the apples are on top. The result is a beautiful and delicious dessert that is perfect for any occasion.
Origins and history
Tarte Tatin was first created in the late 19th century by the Tatin sisters, who owned a hotel in the Loire Valley of France. The dessert was created by accident when one of the sisters accidentally left the apples cooking in sugar and butter for too long. The result was a delicious and caramelized dessert that quickly became popular throughout France.
