Time 1h

Yield 12 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 cup sugar
1/2 vanilla bean, split lengthwise
1 cinnamon stick, 2 to 3 inches
1 tablespoon vanilla brandy or plain brandy
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon freshly grated orange zest
6 peaches, halved and pitted
2 sheets puff pastry

Steps:

  • Melt the butter in a saucepan until it bubbles. Add the sugar and stir with a wooden spoon until smooth. Add the vanilla bean and cinnamon stick and stir to combine, pressing on the vanilla bean to bring out the vanilla seeds inside. Continue simmering until caramel in color, about 5 minutes. The mixture might not look smooth and blended at this point.
  • Stir in the brandy, lemon juice and orange zest and continue cooking until smooth, about 5 minutes more. Heat the oven to 375 degrees F and arrange the ramekins on a cookie sheet. Pour 2 tablespoons of caramel into the bottom of each ramekin. Arrange 1 peach half in each ramekin. Pour a little more caramel over the peaches and bake until the caramel is bubbling and the peaches are almost tender, 15 to 20 minutes. (The recipe can be made up to this point, cooled to room temperature, and refrigerated overnight. Bring to room temperature before proceeding.)
  • Meanwhile, use a cutter or sharp knife, cut the puff pastry into 12 rounds, slightly larger than the diameter of your ramekins (they will shrink during the baking). Remove the ramekins from the oven and turn it up to 425 degrees F. Top each ramekin with a round of puff pastry and bake until the pastry is golden brown, about 10 minutes more. Let cool at least 1 hour or up to 8 hours. When ready to serve, re-warm the tarts slightly to loosen the caramel by placing them in a shallow pan of very hot water, or on a flame tamer on your stovetop, set over medium heat. Unmold upside down onto small plates and serve, with the peaches up and the pastry on the bottom.

PEACH TARTE TATIN



Peach Tarte Tatin image

Making a successful tarte tatin is all about well-cooked pastry and rich, thick caramel sauce. The juices from the peaches will thin and lighten the caramel when it's in the oven, so make sure it's cooked long enough and is dark brown -- but not burnt -- before topping with the pastry. Don't be afraid to bake the pastry until it's very crisp and browned. It can take a while to fully cook through!

Time 1h5m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 5

4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup sugar
Pinch of salt
3 large peaches, pitted and cut into 8 wedges each
1 frozen sheet puff pastry, thawed

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375˚ F. Melt the butter in a medium ovenproof nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Stir in the sugar and salt until it looks like wet sand. Reduce the heat to medium and add the peaches. Cook, shaking the skillet, until the syrup is dark brown, 10 to 15 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, trim the corners from the puff pastry to make a round. Remove the skillet from the heat and top the peaches with the puff pastry, tucking in the edges; cut three 2-inch slits into the top.
  • Bake until browned on top, about 30 minutes. Let cool 10 minutes in the skillet, then invert onto a rimmed serving plate.
