Apple Tarte Tatin

Ingredients

• 3/4 cup (150g) granulated sugar
• 4 tbsp (57g) unsalted butter
• 4 apples (Granny Smith or Honey Crisp are best peeled, cored, and cut into quarters)
• 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)

Instructions

1. 1

   Preheat oven to 375F. Grease a 9" cake pan and set aside.

2. 2

   In a large saucepan or medium-sized skillet, heat the sugar on medium heat until completely melted and amber in color. (Tip: use a light colour pan or skillet to make it easier to keep track of the color)

3. 3

   Add the butter and whisk together until all of the butter has melted.

4. 4

   Carefully add the apples and cook for 10 minutes, stirring constantly. Careful not to burn the caramel. Reduce the heat if needed.

5. 5

   Arrange the apples in a circular pattern on the bottom of the prepared cake pan. Pour the rest of the caramel on top. Set aside.

6. 6

   Roll and cut the puff pastry into a 10″ circle (I used a dinner plate to cut around). Poke some holes with a fork. Place the pastry on top of the apples and tuck in the sides.

7. 7

   Bake for 30 minutes or until crust is golden brown.

8. 8

   Cool for 30 minutes, then place a plate on top and carefully flip over to remove the tarte tatin. Slice and serve.
