classic apple tarte tatin

A simplified version of the classic French upside-down tart. This recipe uses sliced apples caramelized directly in the skillet with butter and sugar, topped with a golden puff pastry crust. Flipping it reveals the beautiful, glossy caramelized fruit. Best served warm with a dollop of crème fraîche or double cream.
