Tarte Tatin

featured in Local cuisine Updated

According to legend, Tarte Tatin was created by accident in the town of Lamotte-Beuvron in the southern Loire region. Apparently sisters, Stéphanie and Caroline, running the Hôtel Tatin, made a cooking error for guests by putting their pie in the oven upside-down and thus this wonderful dessert was born. You can still stay in the hotel and taste the original dish.
