In the late 1800s, the Tatin sisters, who ran an inn in France's Loire Valley, created an upside-down apple tart that still bears their name: tarte Tatin. This rich and rustic dessert turns out beautifully, with perfectly caramelized sugar and a glistening amber finish, when prepared in our classic French copper pan. It's crafted in France by Mauviel, a family-owned maker of fine copper cookware since 1830.

• Heavy-gauge 2mm copper exterior conducts heat superbly with precise temperature control to help sugar caramelize properly.
• Stainless-steel interior is nonreactive and easy to clean.
• Also recommended for baking cobblers, quiches and frittatas.
