This traditional French upside-down apple tart is an absolute treat for the taste buds.

Sometimes described as “toffee apples for adults”, tarte tatin is a glorious feast of sticky sweet caramel, juicy apples and crisp pastry. It turns the traditional apple cake on its head, placing the toffee-topped apples on the outside and leaving the supporting pastry base almost hidden underneath. This gluten free tarte tatin recipe goes for a gluten free shortcrust pastry, which offsets the sugary fruit perfectly and makes the tarte extra sturdy and extra buttery. Serve with a dollop of crème fraiche or vanilla ice-cream.
