Manu Feildel

Apple Tarte Tatin


Apple Tarte Tatin

Serves 8

Ingredients

  • 8 to 10 Apples
  • 150 g Butter
  • 200 g Sugar
  • 1 pod Vanilla pod
  • 1 pkt Short crust pastry
  • 1 x 25cm cake tin or an oven proof frying pan

Method

  1. Peel, quarter the apples and take the core out, reserve.
  2. Place the tin or pan on a medium heat and melt the butter, sugar and vanilla together with a heat proof spatula until you obtain a smooth golden caramel.
  3. Place the apple on the caramel side by side like flower petals and place the rest on top evenly.
  4. Roll your pastry a little bit bigger than your pan but not too thin and place it over the apple and tuck it in all around the side.
  5. Place tart in the oven at 180C until pastry is completely cooked and see the caramel boiling over on the sides.
  6. Let it cool for about 1 hour and put it back on the stove to melt the caramel, then place large plate over the tart and turn it upside down and lift the tin off.
  7. To be served with a big dollop of crème fraiche.

  • keep that to myself

    i have to say this is my favourite recipe of his so far i cooked it straight after i seen it. i was meant to share it with the rest of the crew but i ended up eating the whole thing by myself. WHOOPS! =( i did make another one for everyone else though. i think i may have been in a bit of trouble if i didnt.

    I prefer puff pastry rather than shortcrust - light and flaky - a big hit

    I am going to change this by adding brown sugar instead of white sugar and adding some cinnamon. Will let you know how it turns out.

    well the sugar dissolves in the water and then it has to cook for a while to let the sugars caramelize. Depending on on your stove's temperature it could take a while to get to the right colours and consistency.

    Tried this last night and although all's well that ends well, I couldnt get the butter and sugar to melt into caramel like Manu did on the show? I did it twice and both times got a thick white mixture which only dissolved properly after I added the apples. End result was awesome though, a real hit !
