- Title: Tarte Tatin (A 'reversed' apple pie)
- Categories: Pies
- Servings: 6
-
- 300 g Puff pastry (2/3 lb
- 200 g Sugar (7 oz)
- 100 g Butter (3 1/2 oz)
- 2 kg Apples (4 3/8 lb), peeled,
- -- cored, cuted in halves
-
- For a 26 cm (10.2 in) diameter pie form
-
- Roll out the pastry ( 2 mm, 1/10 in, thick) to a 30 cm (11.8 in) disc and
- leave it to rest in the refrigerator.
-
- Pre-heat the oven to 220 oC (435 oF).
-
- Butter a 26cm-diameter disc of baking parchment and carefully line the
- base of the tin with it. Spread the sugar over the paper, shaking it
- evenly over the surface, place in the middle of the oven and bake for some
- 8 minutes to caramelize the sugar. Keep care !! Caramelize to light golden
- brown !! Then add the butter, let it melt, tttooto and leave to cool a
- little.
-
- (You can try without baking parchment: it's difficult to unmold !!)
-
- Place the halved apples vertically side by side (i.e. they MUST be higher
- than the rim of the tin !). Bake for some 25 minutes (at the same
- temperature), tttooto.
-
- 'Line' (i.e. cover) the apples with the pastry disc . Bake for 20 ... 25
- minutes (at the same temperature), tttooto.
-
- Let cool 5 minutes on a rack, then turn over and unmold the 'tarte tatin'
- on a plate, remove the baking parchment.
-
- The 'tarte tatin' look now like an apple pie :-)
-
- Serving: warm or lukewarm with 'creme chantilly'
-
- (tttooto = take the tin out of the oven !!)
