Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 pieces Golden Delicious apples
- 75 grams Unsalted butter
- 150 grams Granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 sheet Puff pastry (ready-made)
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 100 milliliters Heavy cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 190°C (375°F).
Peel, core, and halve the apples. Set them aside.
In an oven-safe 9-inch skillet or tart pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the sugar to the melted butter and stir occasionally until it forms a golden-brown caramel, about 5–7 minutes.
Remove the skillet from heat and carefully place the apple halves rounded side down into the caramel in a circular pattern. Squeeze them in tightly.
Drizzle the vanilla extract over the apples.
On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry sheet so it’s slightly larger than the skillet. Carefully lay the puff pastry over the apples, tucking the edges into the sides of the skillet.
Using a fork, prick a few holes in the pastry to release steam during baking.
Place the skillet into the preheated oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and flaky.
Remove the tart from the oven and let it sit for 5–10 minutes to settle.
Run a knife around the edges of the skillet to loosen the tart. Place a large serving plate over the skillet and quickly invert it to release the tarte Tatin onto the plate.
Serve warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a drizzle of heavy cream, if desired.
