Upside-Down Apple Tart
The upside-down apple tart is a classic French dessert also known as ‘Tarte Tatin’. It was created by accident in the 19th century when one of the Tatin sisters accidentally left the apples cooking in butter and sugar for too long. To salvage the dish, they placed the pastry on top and baked it upside down. The result was a delicious caramelized apple tart that became a beloved dessert.
