Apple tarte tatin

Apple Tarte Tatin is a classic French dessert that showcases sweet, caramelized apples atop a buttery puff pastry. It's elegant yet surprisingly simple to make, making it a favorite for special occasions and casual gatherings alike.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup butter
54g
4 apples
640g
1/2 cup brown sugar
120g
1 sheet puff pastry
250g

Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare Apples: Peel, core, and quarter the apples. Set them aside.
3. Caramelize Sugar: In an oven-proof skillet (preferably cast-iron, about 9-10 inches in diameter), melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the brown sugar and stir continuously until it dissolves and forms a smooth caramel, about 3-5 minutes. The mixture should be bubbling gently.
4. Cook Apples: Add the quartered apples to the caramel, arranging them in a circular pattern, flat side down. Cook for 10-15 minutes, occasionally turning the apples to ensure they are evenly coated with caramel and beginning to soften. The caramel will turn a deeper golden color.
5. Prepare Puff Pastry: While the apples are cooking, lightly flour a surface and roll out the sheet of puff pastry to remove any creases and make it large enough to cover the skillet.
6. Cover Apples: Once the apples are ready, remove the skillet from the heat. Carefully drape the puff pastry over the apples, tucking the edges down around the fruit.
7. Bake: Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
8. Cool Slightly: Remove the skillet from the oven and let the tarte tatin cool for about 5 minutes. This allows the caramel to settle but remain spoonable.
9. Invert: Place a large serving plate over the skillet. Using oven mitts, carefully invert the skillet onto the plate. Gently lift the skillet away, allowing the tart to release. If any apples stick to the skillet, simply replace them on the tart.
10. Serve: Serve the tarte tatin warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream if desired.

Tips:

- Choose firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp to hold their shape during cooking.

- Allow the caramel to reach a deep amber color for the best flavor, but be careful not to burn it.

- Let the tart rest for a few minutes after baking before flipping it onto a plate to ensure it sets properly.

- Serve the tart while warm for the best texture and flavor.

With its rich caramelized flavor and flaky crust, Apple Tarte Tatin is sure to impress your family and guests. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra touch of indulgence.
