Description
A delightful twist on the classic French dessert, showcasing sweet and tangy caramelized apples wrapped in flaky pastry.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 apples, peeled and quartered
- 1 cup sugar
- 1/4 cup water
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 sheet of puff pastry
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Cinnamon (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a skillet, combine the sugar and water over medium heat. Stir gently until the sugar dissolves, then cook without stirring until it turns amber (about 8-10 minutes).
- Reduce heat, add butter, then carefully add the apples, arranging them snugly in the caramel.
- Roll out the puff pastry and place over the apples, tucking edges in. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly for 10 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate.
- Drizzle with vanilla extract and sprinkle cinnamon if desired.
Notes
Best served warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Can be stored at room temperature for up to two days.
