Ingredients

- Caster Sugar : 100g

Instructions

1 - Roll the pastry to a 3mm-thick round on a lightly floured surface and cut a 24cm circle, using a plate as a guide.

2 - Lightly prick all over with a fork, wrap in cling film on a baking sheet and freeze while preparing the apples.

3 - Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4.

4 - Peel, quarter and core the apples.

5 - Put the sugar in a flameproof 20cm ceramic Tatin dish or a 20cm ovenproof heavy-based frying pan and place over a medium-high heat.

6 - Cook the sugar for 5-7 mins to a dark amber caramel syrup that’s starting to smoke, then turn off the heat and stir in the 60g diced chilled butter.

7 - To assemble the Tarte Tatin, arrange the apple quarters very tightly in a circle around the edge of the dish first, rounded-side down, then fill in the middle in a similar fashion.

8 - Gently press with your hands to ensure there are no gaps.

9 - Brush the fruit with the melted butter.

10 - Bake in the oven for 30 mins, then remove and place the disc of frozen puff pastry on top – it will quickly defrost.

11 - Tuck the edges down the inside of the dish and, with a knife, prick a few holes in the pastry to allow steam to escape.

12 - Bake for a further 40-45 mins until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.

13 - Allow to cool to room temperature for 1 hr before running a knife around the edge of the dish and inverting it onto a large serving plate that is deep enough to contain the juices.

14 - Serve with crème fraîche or vanilla ice cream.
