French classic dessert that originated in the city of Lamotte-Breuvon, south of Orleans, in the Loire. After the death of Jean Tatin, owner of the Hotel Tatin in 1888, his daughters Caroline and Stéphanie were responsible for the hotel. Caroline took care of the administration and Stéphanie, who liked to cook, was responsible for the kitchen. Legend has it that one day a lot of movement, Stéphanie would have put the caramel apples in the oven without the pie dough and, realizing the mistake, tried to "save" the dessert placing the dough over the apples ... The result was fantastic and the cake became famous and was introduced in Paris by the restaurant Maxim's. But ... also say that this pie already existed in the region in 1850 ... I'd rather stay with the legend, it is more fun! What matters is taste this delicious traditional French dessert!
And now for the picture of the Tarte Tartin
