Deep Dish Apple Tarte Tatin Recipes

CLASSIC FRENCH APPLE TARTE TATIN RECIPE

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine flour, sugar, and salt. Using your hands mix the cold butter into flour mixture until you see small pea-sized chunks. Add an egg and mix by hand until the dough comes together and looks smooth. Shape the dough into a disc. Wrap tightly in a plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Combine flour, sugar, and salt in a food processor. Pulse couple of time to aerate the mixture. Add cold cubed butter. Pulse a couple of times until you see coarse pea-sized crumbs. Add an egg and pulse until everything just comes together. Invert the dough onto the surface. Knead the dough until it is smooth. Shape into a flat disc. Wrap tightly in a plastic wrap. Refrigerate at least 2 hours or overnight.
• Butter the 8.5 inches straight sided ovenproof pan generously. In a medium bowl mix sugar and vanilla bean seeds. Distribute sugar mixture evenly in the pan. Divide the butter on top of the sugar. Arrange apple slices with one cut side down in a circle motion pressing down the slices slightly.
• On the stovetop heat the pan over the medium-high heat. Cook apples until you see bubbles. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook until the liquid turns beautiful golden brown (caramel) color, about 10 minutes. Immediately remove from heat.
• Preheat oven to 350 F.
• Generously flour the surface. Hit the dough couple of times with the rolling pin in different directions. This keeps the dough from cracking. Roll out the dough. With the sharp knife cut the circle slightly bigger in diameter than the pan. Arrange the dough over the caramelized apples. !Carefully tuck the edges of the dough between the apples and the pan on all sides.
• Bake tatin in the oven until the dough turns golden brown color, about 45-50 minutes.
• Remove from oven and let it cool slightly about 5 minutes.
• Prepare the large plate or cake stand you wish to serve apple tarte Tatin. Place the plate on top of the pan. Using oven mitts flip the pan.

APPLE TARTE TATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
• Coat a 10-inch oven-proof skillet with butter. Sprinkle sugar evenly over the top of the butter.
• Place apple quarters, rounded sides down, on top of the butter and sugar in a circular pattern.
• Place skillet over medium-high heat and cook until butter melts and sugar dissolves and begins to caramelize. Continue to cook until apples soften and caramel begins to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Sprinkle work surface with flour and roll pie dough into an 11-inch circle. Pinch edge to create a ruffle around crust.
• Place crust on top of apples and tuck in edges around apples.
• Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Place a plate over the top of the pan and carefully invert to release tarte from the pan. Scrape any remaining apples stuck to the pan back on top of crust.

FRENCH-STYLE APPLE TART (TARTE TATIN) RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Using a 9-inch (23 cm) flat-sided cake pan as a template, cut a circle out from the puff pastry. Using a fork, poke holes all over to provide ventilation. Set aside.
• Peel and quarter the apples, using a spoon or melon baller to remove the cores.
• Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
• In a large saucepan over medium heat, distribute the water and sugar evenly and cook until light amber in color, stirring to help melt any lumps, 5-7 minutes. Add the butter, stirring constantly until the color is a creamy light brown. Add the apples, stirring until they are coated in a thick layer of caramel.
• Cook for about 15-20 minutes, turning the apples constantly so that they bathe in the caramel. Remove from the heat when the caramel has reduced and little remains in the bottom of the pan. Be careful not to burn the caramel, tasting it from time to time to ensure it does not taste bitter.
• Arrange the apple slices in concentric circles on the bottom of the cake pan. Press the apples tightly against each other, then pour the remaining caramel over the top.
• Lay the circle of puff pastry on top. Tuck the puff pastry down the sides of the pan.
• Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and firm. Cool for about 1 hour, then invert onto a plate.
• Slice and serve with vanilla ice cream.
• Enjoy!

APPLE TARTE TATIN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Mix the sliced apples together with 1/2 cup of the sugar and the lemon juice in a large bowl and set aside. The lemon juice will give flavor as well as keep your apple wedges from oxidizing. Melt the butter in a 12-inch nonstick ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and sprinkle the remaining 1/2 cup sugar evenly over the melting butter. Place the apples in the skillet, flat-side down, starting from the outside and working in, slightly overlapping one another. Fill in the center with the remaining apples. Return the skillet to medium-low heat on the stovetop and cook until the caramel darkens in color evenly, 20 to 25 minutes. Keeping your heat on medium-low will ensure that your caramel doesn't burn and cooks evenly. Remove the skillet from the heat. Lay the puff pastry over the skillet and simply fold the corners in to fit into the pan. Bake until the crust has puffed and is golden brown, 20 minutes. Let cool, making sure that it is cool enough to handle. Loosen up the edges using a butter knife. Place a plate or platter larger than the skillet right on top. Carefully (but with gusto!) flip the tart upside-down onto the plate. If the apples stick to the skillet, carefully remove them and put them back where they belong on the tart. Serve the warm tart with gelato or whipped cream.

APPLE AND ONION TARTE TATIN

Steps:

• In a big bowl combine flour, herbs and spices and cheese. Add the tahini, water and egg and knead into a smooth dough. If it seems too dry, add a bit more water, if its too wet, add some more flour. Wrap into cling film and chill for 15 minutes.
• For the filling place the sugar in a pie dish (of 28 cm/11 inch in diameter), that can be put directly onto the stove top (alternatively use a pan that can be put into the oven). Over medium-high heat melt the sugar. It will take about 4 minutes and the sugar will turn light in colour, but still appear granulated. Swirl the pan around (careful, its hot) while the sugar melts so that it melts evenly. Turn heat down and add oil and vinegar. This might splatter, so be careful.
• Allow to simmer for 1 minute. Remove from heat and place the onion and apples on top of your syrup.
• Roll out your dough so that it fits the pie plate. Place it on top of the filling and press it down at the edges, so that the filling is enclosed completely.
• Bake in the pre-heated oven at 180°C/350°F for 30 minutes until crust is golden and syrup is bubbling.
• Allow to rest for 10 minutes before inverting it onto a serving platter. Enjoy!

CARAMELISED UPSIDE-DOWN APPLE TART - TARTE TATIN

Steps:

• Make a well in the centre of the flour. Put the egg yolks, sugar and a pinch of salt in the centre of the well, then add the butter and the water. Mix with your fingertips until the crumb stage. Use more water at your discretion. The dough must be very smooth. Shape into a ball and chill until firm.
• Melt the butter in a frying pan.When it starts to sizzle add the sugar all at once. Cook over medium heat, stirring now and then with a wooden spoon until caramelised to a deep golden brown. Cook gently once it starts to colour because it burns easily. This will take about 3 - 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and allow to cool until tepid.
• Arrange the apple halves upright in concentric circles to fill the pan. The apples will shrink during cooking so pack it in tightly. Cook the apples over high heat until caramelised, 15 - 25 minutes. Turn the apples over to caramelise on both sides - use a fork. Remove the pan from heat and let cool 10 - 15 minutes.
• Roll out the pastry into a round 2.5 cm larger than the frying pan. Roll up the dough around the rolling pin and transfer to the pan. Drape the dough over the pan. Tuck the edges of the dough down around the apples. Bake the tart in the heated oven until the crust is golden brown. 20 - 25 minutes.
• Let the tart cool until tepid in the pan then unmould it. Set a serving plate on top of the pan, hold firmly together and invert the two. If the apples stick to the pan, remove and replace on the tart. If any caramel remains, use it on the apples.
• Serve with creme fraiche.

APPLE TARTE TATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Melt the butter in a nine-inch cast-iron skillet. Sprinkle with the sugar and cook over a high heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture has turned a caramel color. Remove from heat.
• Peel, core and quarter apples, slice each quarter in half lengthwise. Arrange the rounded sides down, in a circle on top of the caramel in the skillet.
• Place dough over apples, turning edges under. Using point of a sharp knife, make slits in the dough so steam can escape while tart is baking.
• Bake for 30 to 35 minutes or until apples are tender when tested with skewer and crust is golden brown. Cool for 20 minutes and remove by inverting a serving plate on top of skillet and turning skillet over.

APPLE TARTE TATIN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Position rack in bottom third of oven. Peel, quarter and core the apples. Place in a large mixing bowl and toss with the lemon juice. Set aside.
• Place the sugar in a 10-inch skillet or tarte Tatin pan over low heat. When some of the sugar begins to melt, begin stirring with a wooden spoon until all the sugar is melted and begins to turn a pale golden color.
• Remove the pan from the heat. Begin arranging apple pieces in the skillet, rounded side down, in concentric circles, fitting them together as close as possible. Fill the center with 2 or 3 apple pieces, as needed. Arrange the remaining pieces, rounded side up, in concentric circles, filling in the gaps left in the first layer.
• Cut the butter into small pieces and scatter over the apples. Place the pan over medium heat. Cook until the sugar turns a deep caramel color and the juices released from the apples are nearly evaporated, about 15 to 20 minutes.
• Roll the dough and cover the apples according to the directions in the pastry recipe. Bake until the crust is golden brown, about 25 to 30 minutes. Remove from oven and set aside for 10 minutes.
• Run a small, sharp knife around the edge of the tarte to loosen. Place a large plate or platter over the skillet. Holding the plate and skillet together using 2 kitchen towels, carefully but quickly invert the tarte onto the plate. Let stand a few minutes to cool slightly. Cut into wedges and serve with creme fraiche if desired.

LADY APPLE TARTE TATIN

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. Combine sugar and 1/4 cup water in a saucepan; cook over medium heat until dark amber, 10 to 12 minutes. Swirl pan to prevent crystallization; don't stir. Working quickly, divide hot caramel among 12 mini-muffin cups. Add 1 teaspoon butter to each cup. Set aside.
• Combine cranberries and walnuts in a small bowl. Using a teaspoon, fill each apple center with cranberry and walnut mixture. Place apples, stem-side down, into caramel. Cover tightly with aluminum foil, and bake until the apples are tender but still firm, about 20 minutes.
• Meanwhile, on a lightly floured surface, roll out puff pastry to a 12-inch square. Using a 2 1/2-inch cookie cutter, cut out twelve circles. Transfer to a baking sheet, and chill until firm, at least 15 minutes. Once apples have cooked 20 minutes, remove foil, and cover each apple with a circle of puff pastry. Return to oven, and continue baking until puff pastry is golden brown and puffed, about 15 minutes. Turn out onto a tray lined with a Silpat (a French nonstick baking mat) or buttered parchment. Garnish with cranberries and walnuts, if desired, and serve.
