Ingredients

  • 1 cup water
  • 1 cup sugar, plus 2 tablespoons for sprinkling
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, split in 1/2, core removed
  • 1 sheet puff pastry, store bought
  • 2 cups store bought vanilla bean ice cream

Directions

Preheat oven to 400 degrees F.

In a large saucepan over medium heat, add the water and sugar and cook to caramelize the sugar, about 10 minutes. Add the butter and stir until melted.

Take 4 large ramekins and pour caramel into bottoms and arrange 1 apple half, cut side down in the bottom of each ramekin. Take the remaining halves and cut them into 3 wedges so you can fill the gaps in the top of each ramekin to create a level surface on which the pastry will lie across. Sprinkle apples with some sugar. Roll the pastry out use a cookie-cutter to cut out circles the size of the ramekins and place over the apples folding it in at the edges. Make 3 or 4 holes with a knife and 1 in the middle to let steam out when baking. Bake for 20 minutes and then let it rest for 15 minutes. It is important that you do this otherwise the apples will fall apart when you turn it over. Take a dinner plate and put it over each ramekin. Turn it over and slowly remove the ramekin.

Serve lukewarm with store bought vanilla bean ice cream.

    Love the icecream choice! To think it was but one imperfect burnt apple pie that brought about this creation in 1898, central France. For a recipe with a short (history tid-bit, and an even shorter 30 minute preparation time we would like to share with you: frenchiness dot com/recipes -> Tarte Tatin! Bon appetit pour quiconque :

    I had made a wonderful dinner using one of Tylers recipes. I decided that since this was a simple desert it would go great with the meal I had planned. This recipe was all wrong. I guess I should say that reading the reviews BEFORE trying a recipe would make a world of difference in making the decision to use it. My compaints are the same as other reviews. The syrup never caramelized but was a watery syrup. Never having made a caramel sauce before I thought perhaps baking it completed the sauce. WRONG. I think this recipe should be fixed or removed because the concept is excellent. A simple and elegant desert. Wish it had worked.
