Being a fan of Master Chef UK, I recently watched Chef Monica Galetti making a quick tarte tatin. As you know I do like a good tarte but not very good in making it myself, so this recipe sounded great!
She had a one-persons frying pan, but I didn't have which means more tarte ! I have put a link underneath the recipe of the video of Master Chef.
Shopping list:
3 Apples (depending on the size of your pan)
Christal white sugar
Real butter
Frying pan with handle that doesn't melt in the oven.
How to prepare the dish:
In a frying pan (make sure that the handle can also be put in the oven and does not melt), cover the bottom with slices of butter and press down.
Sprinkle crystal sugar over it and it will caramelize in the pan.
Peel apples, remove the core, and cut them in half, i.e. into strips without cutting through the apple. (like you do with a Hasselback potato).
Place the apples on the sugar and then put (ready-made) puff pastry over it; and tuck the apples in a little. Let it 'bubble' on the stove for about 10 minutes.
Then make some slits in the puff pastry with a knife and place the whole thing in the preheated oven at 210 degrees for about 30 minutes.
Don't forget to put on your oven glove because the handle is very hot.
Allow to cool slightly and then place the tarte upside down onto a wooden board so that the caramel stays on the board and not on your counter.
Of course it is delicious with a scoop of ice cream or custard with/without a splash of cognac.
I should have used 3 apples in stead of 2 I noticed later, but furthermore it was very tasty and juicy.
