Pear Tarte Tatin
Pear Tarte Tatin is a take on the classic French tarte tatin dessert. Tarte tatin gets its name from the Hotel Tatin in France where it was first made. It is an upside-down fruit tart and the fruit is beautifully caramelized with sugar and butter. A pastry pie crust is the placed on top and the tart is baked in the oven. Once the tarte tatin comes out of the oven, it is inverted and served fruit facing up on a pie plate.
To make this tarte tatin, start by creating a caramel base at the bottom of a saucepan. Add sliced pears and top with a pastry crust. The result is sticky caramelized pears on a crumbly pastry base.
