Ingredients:
- 6-8 large apples, peeled and cored
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- Vanilla ice cream (optional, for serving)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Caramel:
In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the melted butter and cook until the sugar starts to caramelize, about 10 minutes.
2. Add the Apples:
Arrange the apples in the skillet in a circular pattern, making sure they fit snugly. Cook for another 5 minutes.
3. Assemble the Tart:
Roll out the puff pastry sheet to fit the skillet. Place the pastry over the apples and tuck in the edges around the apples.
4. Bake:
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the tart for 30-35 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.
5. Flip and Serve:
Carefully invert the skillet onto a serving plate. The apples should now be on top with the caramel drizzling over them. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream if desired.
