Steps:
- To begin, peel, halve, and core your apples (melon ballers make a good tool for coring halved apples). You'll need one apple for every two tarts.
- In a medium sauce pan, about 3 quarts (1 liter), slowly heat sugar. You'll want to stir frequently until it dissolves into a brown syrup. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter into the sugar, stirring frequently. Add a dash of salt and the juice from ½ lemon.
- Lower the heat as low as it will go and add your apple halves. Toss to coat with caramel and let simmer 5-10 minutes until tender, flipping once.
- Cut puff pastry into circles to fit just within the top of your muffin tin.
- Place apple halves curve-side down in a large muffin tin. Pour remaining caramel over each apple half. Top with a circle of puff pastry to fit just inside the muffin tin.
- Bake 14-20 minutes at 450°F (230°C). Invert muffin pan onto baking sheet immediately. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
- Enjoy!

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
- Dissolve the sugar and water in a saucepan on medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is clear, about 6 to 8 minutes.
- Turn the heat to high and cook without stirring until the caramel turns a honeybrown color, about 5 more minutes.
- Remove from the heat immediately and cool while you prepare the apples.
- Peel, core, and quarter the apples.
- Melt the butter in na 8-9 inch skillet or cast iron pan.
- 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 minutes, until the apples begin to soften.
- While the apples cook, carefully stir the sour cream into the cooled caramel (it may sputter if the caramel is still very hot).
- When the apples are becoming tender, sprinkle on the lemon juice and salt and pour the caramel evenly 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 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden.
- Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes.
- Cover with a plate larger than the skillet and invert very carefully to unmold the tart onto the plate.
- Serve warm.
Tips:
- Use a heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven to make the caramel. This will help to prevent the sugar from burning.
- Be careful not to overcook the caramel. It should be a deep amber color, but not too dark.
- Use a variety of apples for the tarte Tatin. This will give the tart a more complex flavor.
- Peel and core the apples before slicing them. This will help to prevent the apples from browning.
- Arrange the apple slices in a single layer in the skillet. This will help them to cook evenly.
- Bake the tarte Tatin for 30-35 minutes, or until the apples are tender and the crust is golden brown.
- Let the tarte Tatin cool for at least 10 minutes before serving. This will help the caramel to set.
Conclusion:
Caramel apple tarte Tatin is a classic French dessert that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and always a crowd-pleaser. With its flaky crust, tender apples, and rich caramel sauce, this tart is sure to be a hit at your next party or gathering.
