What is a Tarte Tatin?
A Tarte Tatin is a delicious French pastry in which fruits (or in this case, vegetables!) are caramelised in butter and sugar and then baked! It’s a very simple dish to make and is impressive when served to guests.
The pastry is placed over the top of the filling instead of the filling going inside the pastry. Once baked, it’s then flipped over onto a serving plate and the pastry is then on the bottom.
