Upside-down pie with kiwi and pine nuts
Description
There are many recipes for such pies, and I want to suggest you make an upside‑down tart with kiwi and pine nuts. The bake, without exaggeration, turns out simply exquisite in taste! A minimal set of ingredients, yet the result is superb. A thin layer of delicate shortcrust pastry with a fragrant filling of caramel and nuts and a light fruity tang of kiwi. This dessert will please any sweet‑tooth! My pan is 18 cm in diameter; for a larger pan you should increase the amount of ingredients. Try it. It can be served with tea or coffee.
