Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 55 minutes
Serves: 8

Ingredients

1/2 cup unsalted butter

1 cup granulated sugar

8 medium-sized apples, peeled, cored, and quartered

1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Pinch of salt

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).

2. In a large oven-safe skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

3. Add the sugar to the butter and stir until it begins to caramelize, turning a light amber color.

4. Stir in the vanilla extract, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt.

5. Arrange the apple quarters in the skillet, rounded side down, tightly filling the pan.

6. Cook the apples in the caramel for about 15 minutes, occasionally basting with the caramel, until they start to soften.

7. Remove the skillet from heat and carefully drape the puff pastry over the apples, tucking the edges down around the fruit.

8. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and crisp.

9. Allow the tart to cool for 5 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate.

10. Serve warm or at room temperature.
