Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 whole ripe peaches
- 150 grams granulated sugar
- 60 grams unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 pinch salt
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Peel the peaches, remove the pits, and cut each peach into halves or quarters, depending on their size.
In an ovenproof skillet (preferably cast iron, 10-12 inches in diameter), add the granulated sugar and cook over medium heat until it begins to melt and turns a light golden caramel color. Stir gently to ensure even melting.
Add the unsalted butter to the caramel and stir to create a smooth mixture. Be cautious, as the mixture will bubble up slightly.
Remove the skillet from heat and immediately stir in the vanilla extract and lemon juice. Sprinkle in a pinch of salt.
Arrange the peach halves or quarters cut-side up in the skillet, tightly packed together.
Dust a clean countertop with the all-purpose flour and roll out the puff pastry sheet if needed to ensure it’s slightly larger than the skillet.
Carefully lay the puff pastry over the peaches, tucking the edges down around the peaches and into the skillet to seal them in.
Using a fork, prick the puff pastry in several places to allow steam to escape as it bakes.
Bake the tarte in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and puffed.
Remove the skillet from the oven and allow the tarte to cool for 5-10 minutes.
Place a serving plate or platter over the skillet and quickly but carefully invert the tarte onto the plate. Be mindful of the hot caramel.
Serve warm, optionally with whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
