Apple Upside-Down Tart (2-Ingredient Magic!)

🍏 Apple Upside-Down Tart (2-Ingredient Magic!)

Crispy caramelized apples on a buttery crust—this minimalist French-inspired dessert lets the fruit shine! No fancy skills needed.

📝 Ingredients

For the Topping:

• 2 large apples (Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)

• ¼ cup (50g) sugar

• 2 tbsp butter

For the Crust:

• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed (or pie crust)

• ½ tsp cinnamon (optional)

👩‍🍳 Instructions

1️⃣ Caramelize the Apples

• Peel, core, and slice apples into ¼-inch wedges.

• Melt butter in a 9-inch ovenproof skillet (or cake pan).

• Sprinkle sugar evenly over butter. Arrange apple slices in a spiral pattern.

• Cook over medium heat 5 mins until sugar turns amber (don’t stir!).

2️⃣ Add the Crust

• Roll out puff pastry to fit the skillet. Place over apples, tucking in edges.

• Prick dough with a fork to prevent puffing.

3️⃣ Bake & Flip

• Bake at 375°F (190°C) for 25-30 mins until golden.

• Cool 5 mins, then invert onto a plate.

💡 Pro Tips

✔ Extra flavor? Add vanilla or cardamom to the caramel.
✔ No skillet? Use a cake pan—assemble on the stovetop, then bake.
✔ Serve warm with ice cream or crème fraîche!
