Tarte Tatin Ingredients

Method

Tarte Tatin Directions

  1. 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.

  2. 2

    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.

  3. 3

    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. 4

    Add Vanilla and Salt

    Stir in the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt, mixing well with the apples.

  5. 5

    Add Puff Pastry

    Roll out the puff pastry and place it over the apples, tucking the edges down around the fruit.

  6. 6

    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.

  7. 7

    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.
