Editors Review
Here is an amazing video that presents a unique apple pie called Tarte Tatin which is very popular in France. In this apple pie recipe the apples are cooked first and then covered with a sweet dough for crust. That imparts a unique shape and the apples are caramelized. This is a perfect recipe for relaxing holidays!
