Equipment

  • Oven proof frying pan
  • Sharp Knife
  • Cutting Board
  • Rolling Pin
  • Pastry Brush
  • Serving plate

Ingredients
  

  • 100 g CASTER SUGAR
  • 50 g UNSALTED BUTTER
  • 6 large APPLES
  • 320 g PUFF PASTRY
  • 1 tsp CINNAMON
  • 1 tbsp PLAIN FLOUR

Instructions
 

Step 1:

  • Peel all of your apples first. Slice them into very thick wedges. Remove the cores carefully with a knife. Set the apple slices aside for now.

Step 2:

  • Preheat your oven to 200°C now. Let it get nice and hot. A hot oven makes pastry puff up. This creates the best flaky texture.

Step 3:

  • Put the caster sugar in your pan. Place the pan on medium heat. Let the sugar melt slowly and evenly. Do not stir the sugar at all.

Step 4:

  • Add the butter pieces to the pan. The sugar will start to bubble. Watch for a deep golden color. This is your delicious caramel base.

Step 5:

  • Turn off the stove heat now. Sprinkle the cinnamon over the caramel. Be very careful with the hot liquid. It can burn your skin quickly.

Step 6:

  • Arrange the apples in the pan. Pack them in very tightly together. They will shrink as they bake. Make a pretty circle pattern.

Step 7:

  • Roll out your cold puff pastry. Use a little flour on the board. Make a circle slightly larger than pan. It should be about 5mm thick.

Step 8:

  • Place the pastry over the apples. Tuck the edges down the sides. This creates a crust for the tart. Prick the top with a fork.

Step 9:

  • Bake it for twenty-five minutes now. The pastry must be golden brown. The caramel will bubble up the sides. It will look very tasty.

Step 10:

  • Take the pan out very carefully. Let it sit for five minutes. This lets the caramel thicken slightly. Do not wait too long.

Step 11:

  • Place a large plate over the pan. Use oven mitts for your hands. Flip the pan over very quickly. The tart will land on the plate.

Notes

Cold pastry: Always keep your pastry cold until you use it.
Firm apples: Use firm apples so they do not turn mushy.
Hot caramel: Be very careful with the hot melted sugar.
Fast flip: Flip the tart quickly to avoid any sticking.
Pack tightly: Apples shrink so pack them very close together.
Pan type: Use a pan with high sides for safety.
Sugar color: Stop heating when the sugar looks like amber.
Resting time: Let it rest so the sauce stays thick.
