Tarte Tatin

Here's an easy dessert that's sure to impress your dinner guests! 

Tarte Tatin
(serves 6)

Ingredients:
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed

4 tbsp unsalted butter

1/2 cup of white or brown sugar (I like to mix a bit of both)

6 golden delicious or honey crisp apples
3/4 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup sour cream
1 tbsp liqueur such as rum, calvados, Grand Marnier etc.

Pre-heat your oven to 425 degrees. Make sure the oven rack is in the middle.

Peel, core and slice your apples. Try not to make them too thick.

Melt the butter in a skillet on medium-low heat.

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the sugar over the melted butter.

Carefully arrange the apple slices in the pan.

Return the skillet to medium-high heat and cook until the mixture becomes an amber colour. This should take 15-20 minute, but keep an eye on it.

Roll out the puff pastry and use a plate as a guide to create a circle. Cut out the circle and prick all over with a fork.

Place the pastry on top of the apples and bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes.

Meanwhile, whip the heavy cream and sour cream together until they form soft peaks. Add the liqueur and continue to whip until medium peaks form.

Remove the tarte from the oven and invert onto a large platter. Spoon the remaining syrup in the pan over the tarte.

Serve with the whipped cream!
