About

The tarte tatin, a dessert that originated in France, is an upside-down cake in which the fruit is caramelized in butter and sugar before the tart is baked. In this recipe, the fruits I used are apricots and blueberries with cinnamon. The caramelized apricots, blueberries and cinnamon enhance the soft and moist cake made with mascarpone cheese. This gluten-free dessert is a winner!
