Description
Tarte Tatin is a classic French dessert featuring caramelized apples baked under a layer of pastry, then flipped to reveal a beautifully caramelized top.
Ingredients
- 6-8 medium apples, peeled, cored, and quartered
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 sheet of puff pastry
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a heavy ovenproof skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the sugar and cook until it turns a light caramel color.
- Arrange the apple quarters in the caramel, cut side up, and cook for about 10 minutes.
- Roll out the puff pastry and place it over the apples, tucking the edges into the skillet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
- Let it cool for a few minutes, then carefully invert the tart onto a serving plate.
- Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
Notes
- Use firm apples like Granny Smith for the best texture.
- Be cautious when flipping the tart as the caramel is very hot.
