Tarte Tatin is a classic French dessert featuring caramelized apples baked in a buttery, flaky puff pastry crust. The apples are cooked in a mixture of butter and sugar until they form a rich, golden caramel, creating a delightfully sticky and sweet topping. The dessert is typically served warm, with a dollop of crème fraîche to balance the sweetness.

The classic French Tarte Tatin, with its caramelized apples and buttery puff pastry, pairs beautifully with a sweet fortified wine like Malvasia. The wine's luscious sweetness complements the tart's rich, toffee-like flavors, while its high acidity balances the dessert's sweetness. Alternatively, a late-harvest Petit Verdot with its bold, fruity notes can also make for a delightful pairing, enhancing the Tarte Tatin's decadent profile.
