A classic French pastry that is sweet and fruity, requiring just 4 ingredients. Perfect for a show-stopping dessert, this Tarte Tatin serves 8 and is made with puff pastry, apples, golden caster sugar, and plant-based butter.
1: Sprinkle flour on a worktop and roll out the pastry to 0.5cm thick, approx 30cm x 30cm (12” x 12”) in size.
2: Place the pastry on a sheet of baking paper, roll it up and leave it in the fridge.
3: Peel and cut the apples into quarters, removing the cores.
4: Add sugar to a 26cm (10”) oven-proof pan on low-medium heat and cook for 5-6 mins until melted, stirring occasionally.
5: Once the sugar has melted, reduce the heat, add the butter and stir until melted.
6: Arrange apple quarters across the pan in a neat pattern, then cook for 10 mins while the caramel bubbles.
7: Preheat the oven to 200°C fan / 425°F.
8: Remove the pastry from the fridge and place on top of the pan, trimming excess pastry and tucking edges into the pan.
9: Prick the pastry with a fork and make a small incision in the middle to allow air to escape.
10: Bake for 25-30 mins until the pastry is golden and the caramel bubbles.
11: Place a large plate on top of the pan and carefully flip the pan onto the plate.
12: Slice into 8 and serve with ice cream on top.
