Tarte Tatin recipe

Apple tart tatin, a quick and easy recipe.

History

The tarte Tatin was created accidentally at the Hôtel Tatin run by two sisters, Stéphanie and Caroline Tatin. Stéphanie Tatin, who did most of the cooking, was overworked one day. She started to make a traditional apple pie but left the apples cooking in butter and sugar for too long. Smelling the burning, she tried to rescue the dish by putting the pastry base on top of the pan of apples, quickly finishing the cooking by putting the whole pan in the oven. After turning out the upside down tart, she was surprised to find how much the hotel guests appreciated the dessert !

Ingredients

1kg of apples 100g white sugar 50g butter 1 shortcrust pastry

Metod; Let the butter melt in a saucepan and add the sugar. 5 min over low heat without mixing, the caramel is created.
