Apple Tarte Tatin

Tarte Tatin is pretty much an upside down caramel apple pie. It is French, easy to make and utterly delicious. All you need is four ingredients and a oven proof pan. Unfortunately, this is not the best dessert to make if you're on a diet because it consists mostly of sugar and butter. You only live once so, cie la vie! 

Ingredients:

5 granny smith apples sliced into wedges

1 stick of unsalted butter room temperature

1/2 cup of white granulated sugar

1 roll pie dough

Directions:

Preheat oven to 425 F

Spread the butter thickly on the bottom of the pan and edge and sprinkle the sugar evenly over the butter.

Arrange the apples in a spiral and even layer.

Heat on moderate high heat for 15-20 mins ( 7 on my stove) until its a golden brown color. ( It took 14 mins for me) Make sure you watch it!

When its golden brown, place in oven for 17 mins so apples can set and cook.

After 17 mins, take pan out and put pie crust over the apples. 

Tuck the edges into the apples so it creates a dome over the apples.

Put back into the oven and cook for 22 mins. 

Take it out when the caramel is about this rich brown color. 

Be careful when you flip this over. Make sure you use a plate with a lip so the juices don't flow off the dish. also put a dish towel over your arm so you don't get hot juice on your arm and get second degree burns. 

Voila!

Serve with Creme Fraiche and it'll balance out the sweetness!
