Yield Makes 2 individual tarts

Number Of Ingredients 6

1 Golden Delicious apple
1 frozen puff pastry sheet (from one 17 1/4-ounce package frozen puff pastry sheets), thawed
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoons water
Accompaniment if desired: vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 425°F.
  • Peel apple, halve lengthwise, and core. Using a 1-cup ramekin (3 1/4 inches across and 2 1/4 inches deep) as a guide, cut out 2 rounds from pastry sheet.
  • In a 7-inch heavy skillet heat butter over moderate heat until foam subsides and stir in brown sugar and water. Add apple halves and cook, turning frequently, 3 minutes. In two 1-cup ramekins set on a baking sheet arrange apple halves, cored sides up, and top evenly with sauce.
  • Top apples with pastry rounds, letting edges of pastry hang over sides of apples. Bake tarts in middle of oven for 20 minutes, or until pastry is puffed and golden brown, and cool on a rack 5 minutes. Working with 1 ramekin at a time, invert a plate over each ramekin and invert ramekin onto plate. Carefully lift off ramekins.
  • Serve tarts with ice cream.

This was a bit too sweet for my taste. I think next time I'll use less sugar.

I've made this recipe several times and it always turns out great. The only thing I do differently is I use a different type of fruit each time. I've tried apples, pears, and peaches, and they've all been delicious.

"My family raved about this dish! I was hesitant at first to try upside down tarts, but they turned out amazing. I wasn't sure if I caramelized the sugar enough before adding the fruit, but it came out perfect! I'll definitely be making this again."
