A tarte tatin may have a fancy sounding name, but basically it's just an upside down pie. This classic French dessert is scrumptious and we especially love a yummy apple tarte tatin like this one.

Notes

Granny Smith, Honeycrisp or Fuji apples are all great choices to use in this recipe. A Tarte Tatin can also be made with other fruits such as pears or apricots.
If desired, you can prepare the caramelized apples the day before and store in the refrigerator. Remove from refrigerator at least 30 minutes prior to baking. When ready to bake top apples with pastry crust and continue as directed.
