10 French Pastries You’ll Never Get Enough Of

4. Tarte Tatin

A classic French upside-down apple tart, with rich caramelized apples and buttery crust. Originally created by accident at the Hôtel Tatin in the late 19th century, it became an iconic treat. The apples are slowly cooked in sugar and butter until caramelized, then baked under the pastry, creating a deep, sweet flavor that pairs perfectly with a scoop of crème fraîche or vanilla ice cream.
