⭐ Why You’ll Love This Tarte Tatin Recipe

  • Authentic French dessert with a rustic yet elegant presentation.
  • Caramelized perfection – soft apples coated in buttery caramel.
  • Simple ingredients – only apples, sugar, butter, and pastry.
  • Show-stopper dessert – perfect for dinner parties or holidays.

🧈 Ingredients (Serves 6–8)

  • 5–6 firm apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp work best)
  • ½ cup (100g) granulated sugar
  • ¼ cup (60g) unsalted butter
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed, if frozen)
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract (optional)
  • Pinch of cinnamon (optional)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Apples

  1. Peel, core, and quarter the apples.
  2. Pat them dry to avoid excess moisture.

Step 2: Make the Caramel

  1. In an ovenproof skillet (cast iron works best), melt the sugar over medium heat until golden brown.
  2. Add butter and stir until smooth.
  3. Arrange apple quarters in the caramel, rounded side down. Cook for 10–12 minutes until slightly softened.

Step 3: Add the Pastry

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Roll puff pastry slightly and place it over the apples, tucking edges inside the skillet.
  3. Prick pastry with a fork to release steam while baking.

Step 4: Bake & Flip

  1. Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown.
  2. Remove from oven and cool for 5 minutes.
  3. Place a large plate over the skillet and carefully flip to release the tart.

🍽️ Serving Suggestions

  • Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
  • Pair with coffee or dessert wine for a French dining experience.
  • Dust with powdered sugar for an elegant touch.
