Tart Tatin. Lekker.

I love love love Tart Tatin.  It is definitely my dessert island pud.


I made this one for our neighbours and the response was, and I quote: 'what is this? It is so lekker!' Meaning, I think, that it was pretty damn yummy.  And the best thing about it is that it is so easy to make.  You don't need any special dish just a small 20 cm cake tin, frying pan or frying pan with the handle removed in my case - you need to make sure the whole pan is ovenproof.  You must must try this recipe at home.

Ingredients

150 g caster sugar
25 g unsalted butter
8 eating apples, peeled, cut in half with the cores removed
375 g pack of puff pastry


Method

1. Preheat the oven to 200C.
2. Place the sugar in the pan and heat gently until it turns golden-brown.  Remove from the heat and stir in the butter.
3. Place the puff pastry on a floured/sugared surface and cut roughly into the shape of the pan (a little larger.



4. Place the apples cut side up in the pan and top with the pastry.  Tuck the sides of the pastry into the tin.  Pop in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and risen.


5. Take the pan our of the oven and allow to sit for a minute.  Place you serving dish top side down over the pastry and flip the whole lot over.  Gently remove the pan.


Serve hot with cream or ice cream.
