Ta gueule (Apple Tarte Tatin)

STFU!  YUM.  Who could resist caramelized apples, and Biscoff cookie butter in a warm and delicious tart?  This is the ultimate comfort food, and taste of the Holiday Season.  It does take time to prepare and dry your apple slices, but after that this dessert is easy- and such a delicious payoff for brunch or dessert.

History:

In 1888, two sisters invented the Tarte Tatin, in the Loire Valley region of France.  According to lore, one of the sisters made the dessert upside-down, and they served it anyway.  This warm upside-down Tarte became an immediate favorite and a dessert that attracted many visitors to l’Hotel Tatin.  Over the years the desserts’ reputation grew, and when word reached Paris, the owner of Maxim’s sent a spy disguised as a gardener to steal the recipe.  The spy was successful, and the addition of the Tarte Tatin to the famous Maxim’s menu cemented its place in French Dessert history
