The tarte tatin is much more than just a simple dessert; it's a culinary accident that became legendary. Created by the Tatin sisters in their hotel in Lamotte-Beuvron at the end of the 19th century, this upside-down apple tart with caramelized apples has become an indelible classic of French pastry. Unlike the traditional apple tart, the Tatin stands out for its inverted cooking and intense caramel that generously coats the fruit.
