Method
Tarte Tatin Directions
- 1
Prepare the Apples
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel, core, and cut the apples into quarters. Toss them with lemon juice and a pinch of salt in a bowl.

Make the Caramel
In a 9-10 inch oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sugar and stir until it dissolves and turns a golden brown color, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the Apples
Carefully place the apple quarters in the skillet, arranging them tightly in a circular pattern. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning them gently until they start to soften and caramelize.

Add Vanilla
Drizzle the vanilla extract over the apples in the skillet and remove from heat.

Top with Puff Pastry
Roll out the puff pastry to fit over the apples in the skillet. Trim any excess pastry and tuck the edges down around the apples.

Bake
Place the skillet in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.

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