Ingredients:
Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Peel, core, and quarter the apples.
- In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Once the butter is melted, add the sugar.
- Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sugar and butter mixture turns a golden-brown caramel, about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to let it burn.
- Carefully arrange the apple quarters in the skillet with the caramel. Try to fit them snugly.
- Reduce the heat to low and cook for another 10-15 minutes, until the apples are slightly tender and coated in the caramel.
- While the apples are cooking, roll out the puff pastry sheet slightly to make sure it will cover the skillet.
- Once rolled out, cut any excess pastry, leaving about 1 inch (2.5 cm) around the edge of the skillet.
- Carefully place the puff pastry over the apples in the skillet.
- Tuck the edges of the puff pastry around the apples to encase them completely.
- Place the skillet in the preheated oven.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed up.
- Once baked, remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for about 5-10 minutes.
- Place a large plate or serving dish over the skillet.
- Carefully but quickly invert the skillet to allow the tarte to release onto the plate. Be cautious as the caramel will be hot.
- Allow the tarte tatin to cool for a few minutes.
- Serve warm, accompanied by a dollop of light sour cream on the side or on top.
Tips:
- Use firm apples like Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best texture after cooking.
- Make sure to roll out the puff pastry slightly to fit your pan and trim any excess.
- Allow the caramel to turn a deep amber color before adding the apples for the best flavor.
- Invert the tart onto a serving dish while it's still warm to ensure it comes out cleanly.
- Let the tart cool for a few minutes before serving to allow the caramel to set slightly.
Apple Tarte Tatin is a satisfying and sumptuous dessert that is surprisingly straightforward to make. The combination of buttery pastry and sweet, caramelized apples is a match made in heaven. Serve it warm, paired with a dollop of light sour cream on the side for added richness. Enjoy this delightful treat with friends and family for a truly memorable dessert experience.
