Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 5

All-purpose flour, for dusting
Pie Dough for Caramelized Apple Tart, or 1 unbaked store-bought refrigerated pie crust (7 1/2 ounces)
6 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
6 (about 2 3/4 pounds) Rome Beauty or McIntosh apples, peeled, cored, and each cut into 8 wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425 degrees. On a floured work surface, roll out pie dough to a 1/8-inch thickness (or unfold store-bought dough). Invert a 9-inch plate on top of dough; trim dough around plate with a sharp paring knife to form a round (discard scraps, or save for another use). Refrigerate until needed.
  • Assemble the tart in a 10-inch cast-iron skillet. Press softened butter evenly into the bottom of the skillet, then sprinkle with the sugar. Arrange apple wedges in a circle around edge, then fill in the center with remaining wedges. Place skillet over medium heat, and cook until sugar mixture is light amber in color and bubbly, 8 to 10 minutes (syrup might brown unevenly).
  • Transfer to oven; cook until apples have softened, about 30 minutes. Carefully place dough round on top; bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes more.
  • Let cool, about 20 minutes. Run a knife around edge of skillet; invert tart onto a serving platter. Replace any apples that may have stuck to bottom of skillet; drizzle with any remaining pan juices. Serve warm or at room temperature.

Mini Caramel Apple Tarts (Tarte Tatin) Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: apples, sugar, unsalted butter, salt, lemon, puff pastry, large muffin tin

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Desserts

Yield 6 tarts

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 apples, for one muffin tin's worth of apples, preferably Pink Lady or Braeburn
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
½ lemon, juiced
1 sheet puff pastry
large muffin tin

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!

CARAMEL APPLE TART

Provided by Sandra Lee

Categories     dessert

Time 1h10m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 (9-ounce) box pie crust mix
3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored
3 Golden Delicious apples, peeled and cored
Lemon juice, as needed
3/4 cup sugar
2 teaspoons pumpkin pie spice, plus 1/2 teaspoon
1 pinch of salt
1/4 cup butter, room temperature
1 cup heavy whipping cream
3 tablespoons powdered sugar

Steps:

  • Prepare the pie crust according to package instructions. Roll the dough out between 2 pieces of waxed paper to 1/4-inch thickness. Invert a heavy bottom 10-inch nonstick skillet over the dough, trace the outside edge of the pan and trim the excess. Put the pie dough on a sheet tray, cover it in plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  • Preheat oven to 375 degrees F.
  • Slice each apple in 2 and place the halves in a bowl of water with a bit of lemon juice to keep them from browning. In a small bowl, combine the sugar with 2 teaspoons of pumpkin pie spice and the salt.
  • Put the same skillet used to measure out the pie crust, over medium-high heat, and add the butter. Sprinkle 3/4 of the sugar mixture over the melted butter. Arrange the apple halves flat side down in the pan. Sprinkle the remaining sugar over the apples. Cook until the caramel syrup turns a deep golden brown color, about 15 minutes. Carefully arrange the chilled pie crust over the top of the cooked apples and use a spatula to tuck in the edges.
  • Put the skillet in the oven and bake until the crust is cooked and is slightly brown in color, about 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the skillet from the oven and let it stand for around 5 minutes, then invert the pie onto a serving platter.
  • In a medium bowl, using a hand mixer on medium speed, whip the heavy cream with the confectioners' sugar and the remaining 1/2 teaspoon of pumpkin pie spice until soft peaks form. Serve the warm tart on individual plates with a dollop of whipped cream.

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
2 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, and sliced
2 tablespoons light brown sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Pinch ground allspice
Pinch salt

  • Bake until the crust is golden brown, about 40 minutes.
  • While tart is cooking, put the peach preserves into a microwavable bowl and microwave until syrupy, about 20 seconds.

RUSTIC CARAMEL APPLE TART RECIPE - (4.3/5)



Rustic Caramel Apple Tart Recipe - (4.3/5) image

Provided by CandyH

Number Of Ingredients 14

FILLING:
2/3 cup all-purpose flour
1 tablespoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup cold butter, cubed
6-1/2 teaspoons cold water
1/8 teaspoon vanilla extract
1-1/2 cups chopped peeled tart apples
3 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
TOPPING:
1 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
2 tablespoons caramel ice cream topping, warmed

Steps:

  • In a large bowl, combine flour, sugar and salt; cut in butter until crumbly. Gradually add water and vanilla, tossing with a fork until dough forms a ball. Cover and refrigerate 30 minutes or until easy to handle. 2. Preheat oven to 400°. On a lightly floured surface, roll dough into a 10-in. circle. Transfer to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Combine the filling ingredients; spoon over pastry to within 2 in. of edges. Fold up edges of pastry over filling, leaving center uncovered. Combine sugar and cinnamon; sprinkle over filling. 3. Bake 25-30 minutes or until crust is golden and filling is bubbly. Using parchment paper, slide tart onto a wire rack. Drizzle with caramel topping. Serve warm. Yield: 4 servings

Tips:

  • Use a good quality puff pastry. This will make a big difference in the final product. If you can, find a puff pastry that is made with real butter.
  • Don't overwork the dough. When you are rolling out the puff pastry, be careful not to overwork it. This will make the dough tough.
  • Chill the dough before baking. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
  • Use a sharp knife to slice the apples. This will help to prevent the apples from breaking when you are adding them to the tart.
  • Don't crowd the apples in the tart. Leave a little bit of space between each apple slice so that they can cook evenly.
  • Bake the tart until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender. The baking time will vary depending on the type of apples you are using.
  • Let the tart cool slightly before serving. This will help to prevent the caramel from running out of the tart.

Conclusion:

This rustic caramel apple tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. The combination of sweet apples, creamy caramel, and flaky puff pastry is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a special dessert, give this recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
