Upside-down skillet apple tart

8 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
2.00 sticks unsalted butter
1.00 cup brown sugar
1.00 tablespoon cinnamon
1.00 teaspoon nutmeg
6.00 apples
1 (such as cortland; rome or granny smith)
1 lemon juice
1.00 homemade or prepared puff pastry sh; eet
1 flour; for rolling

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel, quarter, and core the apples. Rub them with lemon juice to prevent discoloring. In a 9- or 10-inch cast-iron skillet, melt 1½ sticks butter over medium heat. Stir in sugar and spices, bring to a slow boil and cook, stirring, until mixture is a smooth caramel-colored sauce. Fit in apple quarters, round-side down; reduce heat to low. On a lightly-floured work surface roll out puff pastry until it is 1-inch in diameter larger than skillet. Prick all over with a pastry docker or with tines of a fork. Dot tops of apples with remaining ½ stick butter. Fit pastry round carefully over apples, tucking in edges. Transfer to oven and bake 25 minutes, or until pastry is golden-brown. Remove skillet from oven. To unmold, loosen pastry around edges with a small, sharp knife. Invert a serving plate over top of pan. Using oven mitts, hold both pan and plate and in one motion, flip pan upside-down and set down. Tap bottom of pan gently to make sure tart is released. Lift off pan and serve warm or at room temperature. This recipe yields 8 to 10 servings.
