Classic Tarte Tatin Recipe

Ingredients

• 3 tablespoons butter
• 0.75 cup white sugar
• 3 large Granny Smith apples - peeled, cored, and quartered
• 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
• 1 9-inch unbaked pie crust (see footnote for recipe link)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) for baking the tarte tatin.
2. Generously butter a heavy-bottomed, oven-safe 10-inch skillet. Evenly sprinkle sugar over the buttered surface.
3. Arrange apple quarters, rounded sides facing down, in a circular pattern on top of the butter and sugar.
4. Place the skillet over medium-high heat. Cook until the butter melts, the sugar dissolves, and a caramel begins to form. Continue cooking until the apples soften and the caramel deepens in color, approximately 10-12 minutes. Remove the skillet from the heat.
5. Lightly flour a work surface. Roll the pie dough into an 11-inch circle. Crimp the edge to create a decorative border around the crust.
6. Carefully place the crust over the apples, tucking the edges down around the apples inside the skillet.
7. Bake in the preheated oven until the crust turns a rich golden brown, about 20 minutes. Let it cool for 5 minutes. Position a plate over the skillet and carefully invert the tarte to release it. Gently scrape any remaining caramelized apples from the pan and arrange them on top of the crust.
