TARTE TATIN -- EASY VERSION
Classic French apple tart. I make this every fall during apple season, usually end up with the recipe memorized as I'm churning out my 14th, or 15th, tarte by the end of the year. Use tart Granny Smiths for best results. Use store-bought puff pastry to make it super easy! I found this method by trial and error to bypass making caramel first. (At the suggestion of my friends 2Bleu, a note about traditional tarte tatin: The traditional tarte tatin starts by making caramel in a cast-iron skillet first, then cooks the apples in the caramel on the stovetop, then has you make a crust like a pie crust, which gets placed on top of the apples, then the whole thing is moved into the oven. It's delicious, but a tedious method. So I played around in the kitchen until I discovered this method by a wonderful accident! Don't you love when that happens? ;-) )

Steps:
- Mix sugar and melted butter and press evenly into greased 8" or 9" round cake pan.
- Put apples on their sides in rows decoratively around pan, packing closely together and filling small spaces with broken segments of apples.
- Sprinkle tops of apples lightly with cinnamon if desired.
- Bake uncovered at 425F about 1-1 ½ hours.
- If apples start to burn, they can be covered toward the end of the baking time.
- Meanwhile, unfold pastry sheet and cut to fit pan. Use another pan to trace shape if necessary.
- Poke fork holes into both sides of puff pastry sheet to allow air to escape while baking.
- Press pastry on top of baked apples, pushing edges down. Bake another 20 minutes.
- Cool partially, then invert to a platter. Serve warm.

[email protected]This recipe was a disaster. The crust fell apart and the apples didn't caramelize. I'm not sure what I did wrong.
