Apple Tarte Tatin

Assalamualaikum.


Working is tough. or should I say I am currently working in a tough environment. I am going for a longg long break soon. I need keep reminding myself to breathe. In my final year of university I had anxiety issues. Panic attacks were quite frequent. Although I don't get them that often anymore, I do need to realize when to step back and chill. Most weekends I try my best to chill out. It's hard when your weekend is only Sunday!

On a happier note, my favorite TV show My Kitchen Rules are back on! So happy. I was binge watching the show the other day and all of a sudden I felt like baking! I remembered that we had some apples and puff pastry left in the fridge. Voila, in a couple of minutes, an Apple Tarte Tatin was baking away happily in the oven!

This is an easy recipe where you only need 4 ingredients! Unless you want to make puff pastry from scratch! (good luck!)Tarte Tatin is usually made using an iron cast skillet.Since I do not have one, I caramelized my apples in a pan and then transferred it onto a baking pan.You do watchu gotta do :)

Apple Tarte Tatin

1/4 cup butter

6-8 apples
1/2 cup sugar
1 sheet of frozen puff pastry

1. Preheat the oven to 350 degree Fahrenheit.
2. Peel,core and cut apples. Set aside.
3. In a skillet on a low to medium heat, melt butter in pan and then add sugar.
4. Once sugar is melted, put in the apples. 
5. Coat apples with caramel and cook until the caramel is amber in colour. Make sure you don't burn the sugar! 
6. Turn off the heat and put aside.
7. (If you are using your pie pan, transfer the caramalized apples along with whatever juiciness left on the skillet on to you pie pan)
8. Take out the puff pastry from the fridge, and roll out the pastry big enough to cover your pie pan/skillet.
9. Cover your caramelized apples with the puff pastry and bake for 20-30 minutes or until pastry is golden brown.

It is so easy to make and incredibly delicious! The crispiness and flakiness of the puff pastry combined with the velvety caramelized apples are just too lovely for words! Pair it with some coffee or tea! Perfect for tea time or a light dessert after dinner. My husband who is not too keen of pies LOVED it! So yeay! I might add some cinnamon next time because why not?

Hope I get my sanity back soon!

Cheers
