French Spiral Apple Tart Tatin

Cultural Context

The Tarte Tatin originated in France in the late 19th century, created by the Tatin sisters who ran a hotel in Lamotte-Beuvron. This upside-down caramelized apple tart became a beloved classic, celebrated for its simple yet indulgent flavors. Traditionally served warm, it has inspired countless variations around the world, making it a staple in French patisserie and home kitchens alike.
