Mini Apple Tarte Tatin image

The lady apple, which resembles a scaled-down version of a McIntosh or Cortland, was valued during the Colonial era as a decorative element of wreaths, garlands, and Christmas trees. But the tart, sweet flavor also makes the lady apple an ideal ingredient in this recipe for individual caramelized upside-down tarte Tatins.

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 cup sugar
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup fresh cranberries, chopped
1/4 cup walnut halves, chopped
12 lady apples, peeled and cored from the bottom, stems intact
1 frozen puff pastry, from standard 17 1/4-ounce package, defrosted

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 375 degrees. Whisk to combine sugar with 1/4 cup water in a small saucepan set over medium heat. Without stirring, cook mixture until dark amber in color, 10 to 12 minutes. Pour 1 tablespoon caramel into the bottom of a standard 10 1/2-by-13 1/2-inch muffin tin. Add 1 teaspoon butter to each muffin cup. Set aside.
  • Combine cranberries and walnuts in a small bowl. Using a teaspoon, fill apple's center with cranberry mixture; repeat with remaining apples. Place apples, stem-side down, into caramel.
  • Meanwhile, on a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry to a 12-inch square. Using a 2 1/2-inch cookie cutter, cut out twelve circles. Place puff-pastry circles over apples, tucking pastry around apples. Bake at 375 degrees until pastry is golden brown and puffed, 30 to 35 minutes. Turn out immediately onto a Silpat-lined baking sheet. Serve immediately.

This recipe is way too complicated. I don't think it's worth the effort.

I'm not sure why, but my crust didn't turn out flaky. It was more like a cookie.

This recipe is a bit too sweet for me, but I think it would be perfect for someone with a sweet tooth.

The only thing I would change about this recipe is to use a different type of apple. I used Granny Smith apples, but I think a sweeter apple, like Honeycrisp or Fuji, would be better.

This is the best apple tarte tatin recipe I've ever tried! The crust was flaky and buttery, and the apples were perfectly caramelized.
