Caramel Apple Tarte Tatin Recipe
- 1 c. Sugar
- 1/3 c. Water
- 5 med , hard apples, such as Mutsu and Crispin, (about 1 3/4 pounds)
- 2 Tbsp. Butter
- 1/2 c. Lowfat sour cream
- 5 1/2 Tbsp. Fresh lemon juice
- 1/4 tsp Salt
- 1 sht prepared puff pastry, defrosted, (about 1/2 lb.)
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Dissolve the sugar and water in a saucepan on medium heat, stirring constantly till the mix is clear, about 6 to 8 min.
- Turn the heat to high and cook without stirring till the caramel turns a honeybrown color, about 5 more min.
- Remove from the heat immediately and cold while you prepare the apples.
- Peel, core, and quarter the apples.
- Heat the butter in the skillet.
- Arrange a fan of apple slices in a circle around the perimeter and fill in the center with the remaining slices.
- Cover and cook on medium heat for 8 to 10 min, till the apples begin to soften.
- While the apples cook, carefully stir the lowfat sour cream into the cooled caramel (it may sputter if the caramel is still very warm).
- When the apples are becoming tender, sprinkle on the lemon juice and salt and pour the caramel proportionately over the apples.
- Trim the corners from the pastry to make a rough circle about 10 inches in diameter.
- Fit the dough over the apples, tucking in the edges around the inside of the pan.
- Bake for 30 min, till the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 min.
- Cover with a plate larger than the skillet and invert very carefully to unmold the tart onto the plate.
- Serve hot.
