The Tarte Tatin cake is a classic French dessert dish that is known in its unusual cooking way. Instead of putting the filling on top of the dough, in the “tart taten” fruits (usually apples) are caramelized in a pan and then covered with a layer of dough and baked in the oven. When the cake is ready, it turns over so that caramelized fruits are on top.
Here is the basic recipe for the preparation of the Tart Taten cake:
Step 1: Ingredients:
– 6-8 medium apples
– 100 g butter
– 150 g of sugar
– sheets of puff -free puff pastry
Step 2: Preparation:
1. Pre -heat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius.
2. Peel the apples from the peel and seeds, cut them into a quarter or segments.
3. Heat the butter in a pan with a thick bottom and add sugar. Heat over medium heat until the sugar dissolves and begins to be caramelized.
4. Add apples to caramel and mix to evenly cover them with a layer of caramel. Cook over low heat until the apples are soft and caramel does not thicken.
5. At this time, roll the puff pastry by the size of the pan with a margin at the edges.
6. Put softened apples on the bottom of the pan, and then gently cover them with a layer of dough, drowning it along the edges.
7. Put the pan in the preheated oven and bake for about 20-25 minutes until the dough becomes golden and crispy.
8. When the cake is ready, remove it from the oven and leave it for 5-10 minutes so that it cools a little.
9. To serve Tart Taten, put a large plate on the upper part of the pan and quickly turn it over so that the cake is removed from the pan.
10. Serve the Tart Taten cake with warm or room temperature, best with vanilla ice cream or freshly beaten cream.
