Tarte Tatin

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat the oven to 190°C (375°F).

2. 2

   Peel, core, and cut the apples into quarters.

3. 3

   In a 23cm (9 inch) ovenproof skillet or tarte tatin dish, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sugar and cook until the mixture turns a deep caramel color, stirring occasionally.

4. 4

   Arrange the apple quarters tightly against each other in a circular pattern on the bottom of the skillet, on top of the caramel. Cook for a few more minutes until the apples start to soften.

5. 5

   Roll out the puff pastry and cut a circle slightly larger than the skillet. Place the pastry over the apples, tucking the edges down around the apples inside the skillet.

6. 6

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

7. 7

   Remove from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes. Place a large plate over the skillet and carefully invert the tart onto the plate.

8. 8

   Serve the tarte tatin warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
