Description
A delightful autumn dessert that combines sweet, caramelized apples with flaky pastry, evoking warm memories and comforting flavors.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 firm apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup granulated sugar
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Prepare the apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples into even wedges.
- Make the caramel: In a heavy skillet, melt butter over medium heat, add sugar, and stir until golden-brown caramel forms, watching closely to prevent burning.
- Arrange apples: Place apple wedges in a circular pattern in the skillet and caramelize for about 10 minutes, spooning caramel over the top.
- Add spices: Sprinkle cinnamon over apples.
- Layer the pastry: Roll out puff pastry to cover the apple arrangement, tucking edges around apples.
- Bake until golden: Place the skillet in a preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes.
- Flip and serve: Let it cool slightly, then invert onto a plate to serve.
Notes
Use fresh, seasonal apples for the best flavor. Serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
