Here’s the recipe for Delightful and Caramelized Tarte Tatin;
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a large ovenproof skillet (preferably cast-iron), melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add the sugar and stir until it begins to dissolve and turns a light amber color, about 5-7 minutes.
- Add the lemon juice and vanilla extract, then carefully arrange the apple halves in the skillet, cut side up.
- Cook for about 10 minutes, basting occasionally with the caramel, until the apples start to soften and caramelize.
- Remove from heat.
- On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to a size slightly larger than the skillet.
- Trim to a round shape if necessary.
- Carefully place the puff pastry over the apples, tucking the edges down around the apples inside the skillet.
- Be cautious of the hot caramel.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
- Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes.
- Carefully run a knife around the edge to loosen the pastry.
- Place a serving plate upside down over the skillet, then quickly and carefully invert the skillet and plate together to turn the tart out onto the plate.
- Be cautious of hot caramel.
- Allow the Tarte Tatin to cool slightly before serving.
- It can be enjoyed warm or at room temperature, often with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
