This Apple Tarte Tatin is a decadent and impressive dessert that originated in France. It features caramelized apples on a buttery pastry crust, flipped upside down after baking to reveal a gorgeous golden topping. Serve it warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a truly indulgent treat.

Ingredients

  • 6-8 large apples (such as Granny Smith)
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed

  5. Place the puff pastry over the apples, tucking the edges into the skillet.
  6. Bake for 30-40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
  7. Remove from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes.
  8. Carefully invert the Tarte Tatin onto a serving platter.
