Apricot Tarte Tatin

French tarte tatin—a dessert akin to an upside down pie—is usually made with apples, but this recipe uses sweet and tangy apricots instead. Sticky caramel sauce and crispy crust hold the fruit in place and add lots of flavor. Serve this "pie" with a scoop of ice cream or on its own. Either way, your family will be delighted!
