An elegant French-style upside-down tart featuring tender apples baked in a rich caramel sauce with a flaky pastry crust.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 6 large apples (such as Honeycrisp or Fuji), peeled, cored, and quartered
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
  • 1 package (14.1 ounces) puff pastry, thawed
  • 1 large egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a 10-inch oven-safe skillet, combine the granulated sugar, butter, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar dissolves and the mixture turns a deep amber caramel. This will take about 8-10 minutes. Be careful not to burn the caramel.
  3. Arrange the apple quarters snugly in the skillet over the caramel. Pack them in tightly, as they will shrink during baking.
  4. Place the puff pastry sheet over the apples. Trim the excess pastry, tucking the edges down around the apples inside the skillet.
  5. Brush the top of the puff pastry with the beaten egg wash.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
  7. Let the tart cool in the skillet for 10 minutes. Carefully invert a serving plate over the skillet, and then quickly and confidently flip the skillet and plate together to release the tart onto the plate.
  8. Serve warm.

Notes

  • Use firm apples that hold their shape when baked.
  • Ensure your skillet is oven-safe.
  • Allow the tart to cool slightly before inverting to prevent the caramel from being too runny.
