Tarte tatin recipe
- 300 g (10.6oz) caster sugar
- 150 g (5.3oz) unsalted butter
- 15 Cox apples
- 400 g (14.1oz) puff pastry
- Pre-heat the oven to 200C.
- Peel the apples, cut them in half and remove the central part and the seeds.
- Put to side.
- Preheat the oven-proof pan over medium heat and melt the sugar in it.
- As it melts, it will go brown and gooey (`caramelized').
- Keep stirring slowly.
- Turn heat off; add the butter and stir until smooth and homogeneous.
- Now put the apples into the same pan with the cooked sugar mixture, placing them in a circle, working from outside in.
- It doesn't really matter how you place them, but make sure you pack in as many as you can so they can hold together even if they shrink during cooking.
- Put puff pastry on top, gently pressing.
- Place the pan in the pre-heated oven and bake about 25-30 minutes at 200C.
- When done, pastry will be golden brown.
- Remove from oven and let it sit for 10 minutes to cool then place a large plate over the pan and flip over to release the tart (please be extra careful in this process and protect your hands with a towel.
- hot caramel is merciless).
- Place back or rearrange any wild piece of apple that moved during the flipping .Et voila!
- Your piping hot delicious tarte tatin is ready.
