Ingredients

Method

• 500 g ready-made puff pastry
• 12 small red apples
• 600 g caster sugar
• 240 g unsalted butter
• 200 g crème fraîche

Method

Ingredients

Preheat the oven to 200°C. Roll out the puff pastry and cut into a large piece slightly larger than a 23 cm skillet.

Peel and core the apples, then halve them lengthways.

Heat the sugar and butter in the skillet over a high heat. When the mixture begins to caramelise, remove it from the heat. Place the apple halves, cut-side up, in the caramel and cover them with the pastry, tucking in any overlapping edges. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.

Place a plate over the skillet and invert to remove the tatin from the former. Serve with a dollop of crème fraîche.
