French apple Tarte Tatin

An upside-down French tart of caramelized apples, covered with shortcrust pastry and turned out to serve.

This French version pairs caramelized apples with a shortcrust pastry topping, baked above the fruit and serving as the base once the tart is turned out. Shortcrust is used here, although versions with puff pastry also exist.

Method

  1. 01

    Make the shortcrust pastry

    Mix the flour and salt. Rub in 125 g of cold butter with your fingertips until crumbly; add the cold water and mix only until the dough comes together. Shape it into a disc, wrap it, and chill for 60 minutes.

    Prepare the apples

    Peel and core the apples, cut them into quarters, and set them aside while you prepare the caramel.

  3. 03

    Make the caramel and arrange the fruit

    Put the sugar in an oven-safe skillet or pan and heat over low heat until caramelized. Carefully add the remaining 120 g of butter and combine. Arrange the apple quarters snugly over the caramel.

    Cover and bake

    Heat the oven to 190 °C. Roll out the pastry on a lightly floured surface until slightly larger than the pan. Cover the apples with it and tuck the edges between the fruit and the sides of the pan. Bake for 30–35 minutes, until the pastry is golden and juices appear at the edges.

    35 min
  5. 05

    Rest and turn out

    Remove the tart from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Place a serving plate over the pan and, holding them carefully together, turn the tart out so the caramelized apples are on top.
