Gluten-free fig tart tatin

On this rainy autumn day, nothing beats a fig Tatin tart for comfort! And of course, it's gluten-free. Baking it upside down allows the figs to gently simmer in the sugar and butter, giving the tart a melt-in-your-mouth texture and a beautiful structure. You can use ready-made gluten-free shortcrust or sweet pastry or make your own (see shortcrust and sweet pastry ). This recipe is perfect for seasonal meals, especially in autumn when figs are ripe. It's served warm, with or without a side dish. The result is perfectly balanced: sweet, moist, and slightly tangy. I hope you enjoy it, and if you do, please let me know. Bon appétit!
