A classic French dessert, the rustic tarte Tatin is down-to-earth yet sensuous. If you were to personify it, you could say that it’s confident and unpretentious – comfortable in its own skin. And that’s what makes it charming and endearing. In this recipe, pears are caramelized in a cast iron skillet with butter and coconut sugar, covered in puff pastry and then baked in the skillet until golden. It goes from kitchen to table with nonchalance, flipped onto a serving plate to reveal its inner beauty.
