Tart Taten is one of the most popular French desserts. It is an inside out apple pie, in which apples are fried in butter and sugar before baking the pie. It is loved all over the world for its delicious taste and ease of preparation. It goes well with hot drinks and a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Taten's story is even more fascinating. This culinary creation was born in 1898 at the hotel of the sisters Stefan and Caroline Taten in Lamotte-Bevron. While cooking, Stephanie forgot to make a basket of shortcrust pastry and put the caramelized apples right into the mold. In order not to alter anything, I covered the fruit with dough on top. As a result, the "wrong" cake delighted the hotel guests. The tasty mistake became the hallmark of the Taten sisters' establishment and made their name famous all over the world.
Idea of Tart Taten - favorite fruits are caramelized (pears, peaches, apricots …), which are then baked covered with dough. The upside-down pie is tender and the dough remains crispy enough. it does not bathe in juices. No less important is its versatility, since any sort of apple can be used for the product.
