Steps

• Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
• In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, sugar, and salt for the pastry. Add the cold butter pieces and use a pastry cutter or your fingers to cut the butter into the flour mixture until it resembles coarse crumbs.
• Gradually add the ice water to the flour mixture, mixing with a fork until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into a disk, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate for 30 minutes.
• In a 10-inch oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sugar and cook until it starts to caramelize and turn golden brown.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and arrange the apple slices in a circular pattern on top of the caramel. Sprinkle the lemon juice and cinnamon over the apples.
• Roll out the chilled pastry dough on a lightly floured surface to fit the size of the skillet. Place the dough over the apples, tucking in the edges around the apples.
• Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender.
• Remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes. Carefully invert the skillet onto a serving plate, allowing the caramel and apples to release onto the plate.
• Serve the Tarte Tatin warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.

Tips

• Use firm apples such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp for the best results.
• Be careful when inverting the skillet onto the serving plate as the caramel can be hot.

Information

• Tarte Tatin is a classic French dessert that features caramelized apples baked under a layer of buttery pastry. It is traditionally served upside down, with the caramel and apples on top.
