Serves 6
150g granulated sugar
50g butter, cut into small cubes
6 apples
230g puff pastry roll
Fresh cream or vanilla ice cream, to serve
Tarte Tatin
1. Pre-heat the oven to 200C.
2. In a pan, sprinkle the sugar and cook without stirring until it caramelises. Add the butter and stir gently to avoid splashing caramel out of the pan. Pour the caramel into a tart dish.
3. Peel the apples and cut into slices. Arrange the slices on the caramel so that they are squeezed tightly together. Cover with the pastry. Tuck the edges down around the apples.
4. Bake on the lowest shelf of the oven for 40 mins, then remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for 10 mins.
5. Set the serving plate on top of the baking dish and flip over so that the apples are facing up. Serve warm with fresh cream or vanilla ice cream.
