- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 200 g sugar
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 180°C (350°F).
Step 2
Peel, core, and quarter the apples.
Step 3
In a heavy, ovenproof skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

Step 5
Arrange the apple quarters in the skillet, placing them in a circular pattern.
Step 6
Cook the apples in the caramel for about 15 minutes, turning them occasionally to ensure they are evenly coated and begin to soften.
Step 7
Remove the skillet from heat and let it cool slightly.
Step 8
Place the puff pastry sheet over the apples, tucking the edges inside the skillet.
Step 9
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crisp.

Allow the tart to cool for a few minutes before carefully inverting it onto a serving plate.
Step 11
Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
