Tarte Tatin
This delicious upside-down apple tart can be served hot or cold. All it really takes is an oven-proof pan to make this classic dessert. Start by peeling, coring and quartering 4 pounds of apples. Then slice them in 1 inch thick pieces. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in the pan, then arrange the apples in a pretty pattern. Sprinkle with 1 cup granulated sugar and 1 teaspoon cinnamon, and cook on low heat until the apples start to caramelize. Once done, top the apples with a ready-made pastry crust, then place the pan in a preheated oven at 375 °F. Bake for 45 minutes to 1 hour, and when finished, immediately flip the tart upside down onto a serving dish.
