Tarte Tatin Ingredients
Method
Tarte Tatin Directions
- 1
Prepare the Apples
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel, core, and slice the apples into quarters. Toss the apple quarters with lemon juice to prevent browning.

Caramelize the Sugar
In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the granulated sugar and stir until it dissolves and turns a golden brown color.

Arrange the Apples
Carefully place the apple quarters in the skillet, arranging them in a circular pattern. Cook for about 15 minutes, turning the apples to coat them in caramel.
- 4
Add Vanilla and Salt
Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, mixing well with the apples.
- 5
Add Puff Pastry
Roll out the puff pastry and place it over the apples, tucking the edges down around the fruit.

Bake the Tarte Tatin
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

Cool and Serve
Remove from the oven and let it cool for 10 minutes. Carefully invert the tart onto a serving plate and serve warm.
