The story goes that the upside down apple tart or Tarte Tatin was first served in the Hotel Tatin in Lamotte-Beuvron, France in 1889.

The tarte was the result of an accident when one of the Tatin sisters, being overworked forgot about the apples cooking in the butter and sugar. When she realised that the apples were burning she attempted to save the dish by putting the pastry base on top of the pan of apples and placed the pan in the oven.  When the dish was turned out the dessert was presented with the apples on top of the pastry. 

The hotel guests liked the dessert and it became a standard feature of the menu. 

The restaurateur Louis Vaudable tasted the dish when he was travelling through Sologne and was so impressed he included the dessert on the menu of his restaurant, Maxim’s in Paris.

So that is apparently how an ordinary apple pie became a new creation in its own right.
