Tarte Tatin Ingredients
Method
Preparation Instructions
- 1
Prepare the Apples
Peel, core, and cut the apples into halves. Toss them with lemon juice in a bowl to prevent browning.
- 2
Caramelize the Sugar
In a large, oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sugar and stir until dissolved and the mixture turns a golden caramel color.
- 3
Add Apples
Arrange the apple halves in the caramel, cut side up. Cook for about 15 minutes until the apples start to soften and absorb the caramel.
- 4
Add Vanilla
Drizzle the vanilla extract over the apples and gently stir to combine.
- 5
Prepare Puff Pastry
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut it to fit over the skillet, ensuring it covers the apples completely.
- 6
Bake the Tarte Tatin
Place the skillet in a preheated oven at 375°F (190°C) and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- 7
Cool and Flip
Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Carefully invert the tart onto a serving plate.
- 8
Serve
Serve warm, optionally accompanied by whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
