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.

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.

I love the idea of serving these mini tartes tatin with a dollop of whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.


WHY SO SERIOUS

I'm curious to know how these mini tartes tatin would turn out if I used a different type of fruit, such as pears or plums.

I'm not sure how I feel about the idea of using puff pastry for the crust. I think I would prefer a more traditional shortcrust pastry.

These mini tartes tatin were a fun and easy dessert to make. The only thing I would change is to use a different type of apple, such as a Granny Smith, which would provide a bit more tartness.

I had some trouble getting the caramel sauce to set properly, but other than that, these mini tartes tatin were delicious. The apples were perfectly caramelized and the crust was flaky and buttery. I will definitely be making these again.

These mini tartes tatin were a bit too sweet for my taste, but they were still very good. The crust was nice and flaky and the apples were cooked evenly. I would recommend using a tart apple variety next time.
