Apple Upside-Down Tart (2 apples)
Ingredients:
-
2 medium apples (preferably tart apples like Granny Smith or Braeburn)
-
3 tbsp unsalted butter
-
1/3 cup brown sugar (light or dark)
-
1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
-
1 sheet puff pastry or tart dough (about 9-inch circle, store-bought or homemade)
-
1 tbsp lemon juice
-
Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions:
-
Preheat oven:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). -
Prepare apples:
Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges. Toss the apple slices with lemon juice (to prevent browning) and cinnamon if using. -
Make caramel base:
In a 9-inch ovenproof skillet or tart pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Stir in the brown sugar and cook until the mixture bubbles and starts to thicken slightly (about 2-3 minutes). -
Arrange apples:
Arrange the apple slices neatly on top of the caramel in a circular pattern. Let them cook for 3-4 minutes until they start to soften and soak in the caramel. -
Add pastry:
Roll out your puff pastry or tart dough to fit the skillet or pan size. Lay the pastry over the apples, tucking the edges down around the apples inside the pan. -
Bake:
Place the skillet or tart pan in the oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and cooked through. -
Cool & flip:
Remove from oven and let it cool for about 5 minutes. Carefully invert the tart onto a serving plate. The caramelized apples should now be on top. -
Serve:
Dust with powdered sugar if you like and serve warm, optionally with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
