FRENCH-STYLE APPLE TART (TARTE TATIN) RECIPE BY TASTY



French-Style Apple Tart (Tarte Tatin) Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: puff pastry, apple, water, sugar, unsalted butter, vanilla ice cream

Provided by Alvin Zhou

Categories     Desserts

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
1.5 kg apple, preferably Honeycrisp or Granny Smith
3 tablespoons water
½ cup sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Using a 9-inch (23 cm) flat-sided cake pan as a template, cut a circle out from the puff pastry. Using a fork, poke holes all over to provide ventilation. Set aside.
  • Peel and quarter the apples, using a spoon or melon baller to remove the cores.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, distribute the water and sugar evenly and cook until light amber in color, stirring to help melt any lumps, 5-7 minutes. Add the butter, stirring constantly until the color is a creamy light brown. Add the apples, stirring until they are coated in a thick layer of caramel.
  • Cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning the apples constantly so that they bathe in the caramel. Remove from the heat when the caramel has reduced and little remains in the bottom of the pan. Be careful not to burn the caramel, tasting it from time to time to ensure it does not taste bitter.
  • Arrange the apple slices in concentric circles on the bottom of the cake pan. Press the apples tightly against each other, then pour the remaining caramel over the top.
  • Lay the circle of puff pastry on top. Tuck the puff pastry down the sides of the pan.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and firm. Cool for about 1 hour, then invert onto a plate.
  • Slice and serve with vanilla ice cream.
  • Enjoy!

Tips:

- For a perfectly crisp and buttery crust, use a combination of all-purpose flour and almond flour. - Chill the tart dough for at least 30 minutes before baking. This will help prevent the dough from shrinking during baking. - Blind bake the tart crust for 15 minutes before filling it. This will help prevent the crust from becoming soggy. - Use fresh lemon juice and zest for the best flavor. - Don't overfill the tart crust. The filling should come up to about 1/2 inch below the rim of the crust. - Bake the tart for 25-30 minutes, or until the filling is set and the crust is golden brown. - Let the tart cool completely before slicing and serving. This will help prevent the filling from leaking out.

Conclusion:

This French-style lemon tart is a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its creamy, tangy filling and buttery crust, this tart is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a delicious and elegant dessert, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
