FRENCH-STYLE APPLE TART (TARTE TATIN) RECIPE BY TASTY



French-Style Apple Tart (Tarte Tatin) Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: puff pastry, apple, water, sugar, unsalted butter, vanilla ice cream

Provided by Alvin Zhou

Categories     Desserts

Yield 5 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
1.5 kg apple, preferably Honeycrisp or Granny Smith
3 tablespoons water
½ cup sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
vanilla ice cream, for serving

Steps:

  • Using a 9-inch (23 cm) flat-sided cake pan as a template, cut a circle out from the puff pastry. Using a fork, poke holes all over to provide ventilation. Set aside.
  • Peel and quarter the apples, using a spoon or melon baller to remove the cores.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large saucepan over medium heat, distribute the water and sugar evenly and cook until light amber in color, stirring to help melt any lumps, 5-7 minutes. Add the butter, stirring constantly until the color is a creamy light brown. Add the apples, stirring until they are coated in a thick layer of caramel.
  • Cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning the apples constantly so that they bathe in the caramel. Remove from the heat when the caramel has reduced and little remains in the bottom of the pan. Be careful not to burn the caramel, tasting it from time to time to ensure it does not taste bitter.
  • Arrange the apple slices in concentric circles on the bottom of the cake pan. Press the apples tightly against each other, then pour the remaining caramel over the top.
  • Lay the circle of puff pastry on top. Tuck the puff pastry down the sides of the pan.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and firm. Cool for about 1 hour, then invert onto a plate.
  • Slice and serve with vanilla ice cream.
  • Enjoy!

CARAMELISED UPSIDE-DOWN APPLE TART - TARTE TATIN



Caramelised Upside-Down Apple Tart - Tarte Tatin image

Two French impoverished French women earned their living by baking their father's favourite tart now known as Tarte Tatin. The apples in this tart are cooked in the caramel so that the flavours are deep inside the fruit. You will need a deep heavy 23-25 metal handled pan

Provided by Sherrie-pie

Categories     Pie

Time 1h45m

Yield 1 tart, 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 1/2 kg apples (about 14-16)
1 lemon
125 g unsalted butter (softened)
200 g caster sugar
pastry dough
75 g unsalted butter
175 g plain flour
2 egg yolks
22 1/2 ml caster sugar
1 pinch salt

Steps:

  • Make a well in the centre of the flour. Put the egg yolks, sugar and a pinch of salt in the centre of the well, then add the butter and the water. Mix with your fingertips until the crumb stage. Use more water at your discretion. The dough must be very smooth. Shape into a ball and chill until firm.
  • Melt the butter in a frying pan.When it starts to sizzle add the sugar all at once. Cook over medium heat, stirring now and then with a wooden spoon until caramelised to a deep golden brown. Cook gently once it starts to colour because it burns easily. This will take about 3 - 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool until tepid.
  • Arrange the apple halves upright in concentric circles to fill the pan. The apples will shrink during cooking so pack it in tightly. Cook the apples over high heat until caramelised, 15 - 25 minutes. Turn the apples over to caramelise on both sides - use a fork. Remove the pan from heat and let cool 10 - 15 minutes.
  • Roll out the pastry into a round 2.5 cm larger than the frying pan. Roll up the dough around the rolling pin and transfer to the pan. Drape the dough over the pan. Tuck the edges of the dough down around the apples. Bake the tart in the heated oven until the crust is golden brown. 20 - 25 minutes.
  • Let the tart cool until tepid in the pan then unmould it. Set a serving plate on top of the pan, hold firmly together and invert the two. If the apples stick to the pan, remove and replace on the tart. If any caramel remains, use it on the apples.
  • Serve with creme fraiche.

APPLE-ROSEMARY TARTE TATIN



Apple-Rosemary Tarte Tatin image

Provided by Molly O'Neill

Categories     dessert

Time 1h15m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 cup cold, unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
2 egg yolks, beaten with 1 tablespoon of water
1 cup sugar
10 large Granny Smith apples, peeled, quartered and cored
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
1 1/2 tablespoons chopped fresh rosemary

Steps:

  • To make the crust, place the flour, sugar and salt in a food processor and pulse just to combine. Add the butter and pulse until most of the butter is incorporated into the flour. Add the yolk mixture and pulse until mixture just begins to come together. Gather the dough into a ball, flatten into a disk, wrap in plastic and refrigerate.
  • To make the filling, place the sugar in an 11-inch ovenproof skillet over medium-low heat. When the sugar begins to melt, stir until it melts completely and turns into a caramel-colored syrup. Remove from the heat. Toss the apples with the melted butter and rosemary. Arrange the apples in the skillet on top of the syrup in 2 layers, making concentric circles; put the first layer in core side down and the second layer core side up.
  • Place over medium heat and cover the skillet. Cook for 5 minutes. Uncover and cook for 10 minutes. Set aside to cool.
  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Roll the dough out into a circle slightly larger than the skillet. Place the dough over the apples and fold in the extra dough, pressing it against the skillet to form a seal. Bake until the crust is lightly browned, about 30 minutes.
  • Let stand for 10 minutes. Quickly but carefully invert the skillet over a large plate or platter. Serve warm with creme fraiche or vanilla ice cream.

MINI APPLE TARTE TATIN



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.

Categories     Food & Cooking     Dessert & Treats Recipes     Pie & Tarts Recipes

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.

Provided by Nana Lee

Categories     Dessert

Time 1h

Yield 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup sugar
1/3 cup water
5 medium firm apples, such as granny smith,mutsu and crispin (about 1 3/4 pounds)
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 cup sour cream
1 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
1 sheet prepared puff pastry, defrosted (about 1/2 pound)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  • Dissolve the sugar and water in a saucepan on medium heat, stirring constantly until the mixture is clear, about 6 to 8 minutes.
  • Turn the heat to high and cook without stirring until the caramel turns a honeybrown color, about 5 more minutes.
  • Remove from the heat immediately and cool while you prepare the apples.
  • Peel, core, and quarter the apples.
  • Melt the butter in na 8-9 inch skillet or cast iron pan.
  • Arrange a fan of apple slices in a circle around the perimeter and fill in the center with the remaining slices.
  • Cover and cook on medium heat for 8 to 10 minutes, until the apples begin to soften.
  • While the apples cook, carefully stir the sour cream into the cooled caramel (it may sputter if the caramel is still very hot).
  • When the apples are becoming tender, sprinkle on the lemon juice and salt and pour the caramel evenly over the apples.
  • Trim the corners from the pastry to make a rough circle about 10 inches in diameter.
  • Fit the dough over the apples, tucking in the edges around the inside of the pan.
  • Bake for 30 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden.
  • Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes.
  • Cover with a plate larger than the skillet and invert very carefully to unmold the tart onto the plate.
  • Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Use firm apples: Softer apples, like McIntosh, will break down too much during baking. Look for firmer varieties like Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Braeburn.
  • Slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and caramelize nicely.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed skillet: This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the apples from burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If the apples are too crowded, they won't cook evenly.
  • Cook the apples until they are golden brown: This will give them a delicious caramelized flavor.
  • Invert the tart carefully: Make sure the plate is large enough to catch all of the caramel sauce.
  • Serve the tart warm or at room temperature: It's delicious either way!

Conclusion:

Apple tarte tatin is a classic French dessert that is both rustic and elegant. It's the perfect dish to impress your guests, or to simply enjoy on a cozy evening at home.
