MINI CARAMEL APPLE TARTS (TARTE TATIN) RECIPE BY TASTY



Mini Caramel Apple Tarts (Tarte Tatin) Recipe by Tasty image

Here's what you need: apples, sugar, unsalted butter, salt, lemon, puff pastry, large muffin tin

Provided by Tasty

Categories     Desserts

Yield 6 tarts

Number Of Ingredients 7

3 apples, for one muffin tin's worth of apples, preferably Pink Lady or Braeburn
1 cup sugar
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon salt
½ lemon, juiced
1 sheet puff pastry
large muffin tin

Steps:

  • To begin, peel, halve, and core your apples (melon ballers make a good tool for coring halved apples). You'll need one apple for every two tarts.
  • In a medium sauce pan, about 3 quarts (1 liter), slowly heat sugar. You'll want to stir frequently until it dissolves into a brown syrup. Melt 1 tablespoon of butter into the sugar, stirring frequently. Add a dash of salt and the juice from ½ lemon.
  • Lower the heat as low as it will go and add your apple halves. Toss to coat with caramel and let simmer 5-10 minutes until tender, flipping once.
  • Cut puff pastry into circles to fit just within the top of your muffin tin.
  • Place apple halves curve-side down in a large muffin tin. Pour remaining caramel over each apple half. Top with a circle of puff pastry to fit just inside the muffin tin.
  • Bake 14-20 minutes at 450°F (230°C). Invert muffin pan onto baking sheet immediately. Serve with vanilla ice cream.
  • Enjoy!
