Ingredients
- 6 medium apples (e.g., Braeburn or Gala)
- 150g sugar
- 100g unsalted butter
- 1 Rolle fresh puff pastry (approx. 250-300g)
- 1 Teelöffel vanilla extract
- 1 Prise salt
- 1 Esslöffel lemon juice
Instructions
- Peel, core, and quarter the apples. Drizzle with lemon juice to prevent browning.
- In an oven-safe skillet (approx. 24 cm diameter) or tart pan, melt the sugar over medium heat until it caramelizes to a golden brown.
- Add the butter and vanilla extract to the caramel and stir carefully until the butter is melted. Add a pinch of salt.
- Arrange the apple quarters tightly in the pan or mold, cut sides facing up. Remove the pan from the heat.
- Roll out the puff pastry slightly larger than the pan and place it over the apples, tucking the edges down into the pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven at 180°C (350°F) for about 30-35 minutes, until the puff pastry is golden brown and crispy.
- Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes.
- Place a large plate over the pan and carefully invert the tart. If necessary, spoon any caramel remaining in the pan over the tart. Serve warm.
