French-Style Tarte Tatin
8 servings
1 hour, 20 minutes total (Active 30 minutes)

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry
  • 3 medium tart (or sweet) apples
  • 2 medium, firm Bartlett pears
  • 3 tablespoons water
  • ½ cup granulated sugar
  • 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)

Steps

    1. Set puff pastry out to thaw. Preheat oven to 375°F. Peel, core, and quarter apples and pears.
    2. Place sugar and water in 10-inch cast-iron skillet (or heavy, oven-safe sauté pan) on medium. Cook 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until light amber in color. Stir in butter until melted.
    3. Add apples and pears to sugar mixture; stir carefully to coat. Cook 10–12 minutes, flipping occasionally, until fruit begins to soften and caramel deepens to a rich brown color. Remove from heat.
    4. Meanwhile, remove corners from puff pastry to create 10-inch dough round; prick generously with a fork.
    5. Arrange apples and pears artfully in pan, overlapping slightly, in very tight concentric circle. Place dough on top, tucking sides carefully into edges. Bake 20–30 minutes until pastry is golden and juices are bubbling around edges.
    6. Remove skillet from oven and let stand to cool 10 minutes. Run knife around edge of pan to loosen tart. Invert carefully onto 14-inch round serving platter. Serve warm with ice cream, if using.

Do not eat raw dough/batter.
