Apple Tarte Tatin
1 h6 servingsEasy
France's most famous upside-down tart. Caramelised, tender, golden apples tucked under a crispy pastry and flipped onto the plate at the very last second. It looks impressive and it's easier than you think. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream: life is good.

Method
- 1Preheat the oven to 180°C (350°F). Peel the apples, cut them into quarters and remove the cores. Toss with lemon juice.💡 The whyThe lemon juice prevents the apples from browning. Choose firm apples that hold up to cooking: Golden for sweetness, Granny Smith for tartness.
- 2In an ovenproof pan (about 24 cm), melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sugar and let it caramelise until you get a deep golden caramel.💡 The whyDon't take your eyes off the caramel: it goes from golden to burnt in seconds. As soon as it turns a beautiful amber colour and smells nutty, move on immediately.
