Pear Tarte Tatin~

My cousin bought pears for me,,I dun really like fruit n vege,luv meat~~haha
Then I try 2 make simple French dish called Tarte Tartin.
Basicly Tarte Tartin use apple, but it also can be replace by pear, peach, pineapple, tomato~

Lil' story of Tarte Tartin,,First created acidentally in Hotel Tatin, Lamotte-Beuvron in 1989. The hotel was runned by 2 sister: Stephanie n Caroline Tatin. Then 1 day they have 2many apple cookin' in butter N sugar. Smellin' N Burnin', she tried 2 rescue the dish by puttin' pastry base on the top the pan of apple. Havin' quick finish by puttin' the pan on the oven. After puttin' the upside down tart, surprisingly she found out many hotel quest appreciate the dessert. Then tarte tatin become signature dish of Hotel Tatin.
