Tarte Tatin with Chantilly Cream

Tarte Tatin with Chantilly cream is a classic French dessert born from chance. Legend has it that the Tatin sisters forgot to place the dough in the pan beforehand and ended up baking the pie 'upside down.' The result was a caramelized apple tart with a rich buttery flavor and crispy crust. Apples cooked in butter and cane sugar gain depth of flavor, while airy Chantilly cream adds lightness and sophistication. This treat is perfect for cozy evenings with a cup of tea or as a stunning finale to a festive dinner.
