Super easy Tarte Tatin

I got to know this recipe at a cooking workshop I had with my colleagues. It is super easy and it can be served as a stand alone desert or with ice-cream. As you suspect from the name it is a French pie.

It was such a great fun making it with my colleagues, we enjoyed the process of baking more that the one of eating it :)
