Ingredients
Scale
For the Maple-Apple Tarte Tatin:
- 4 large apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith, peeled, cored, and quartered)
- 1/2 cup pure maple syrup
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
- all-purpose flour (for dusting)
Optional for Serving:
- Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the skillet: Melt butter in a 9-inch skillet. Add sugar, cinnamon, salt, and maple syrup. Cook until slightly thickened.
- Cook the apples: Arrange apple quarters in the skillet, cook until softened and caramelized.
- Prepare the puff pastry: Roll out the puff pastry on a floured surface and place it over the apples in the skillet.
- Bake: Bake in the oven for 25–30 minutes until the pastry is golden brown.
- Serve: Let cool, then invert the tarte onto a plate. Serve warm, optionally with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- To prevent sticking, ensure your skillet is well-buttered and don’t let the tarte cool too long before inverting.
- Pears can be used instead of apples for a fall twist.
