Desserts
(serves 8)
Although this warm tarte (like a Tarte Tatin) tastes wonderful on its own you
can serve it with a scoop of berry sorbet or vanilla/cinnamon ice cream.
8 Large Apples (Red Delicious or Granny Smith) and 3 Peaches
1/2 Cup of Sugar 1 Tsp Butter 1 Tsp Vanilla
8 OZ Puff Pastry Sheet (you can find this in the refrigerated section of the
grocery store)
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Peel and core the apples, cut each into 4 pieces,
cut each Peach into 4 pieces and put aside. Trim the puff pastry sheet into a
circle and roll it out on a lightly floured surface, till it has a diameter of
at least 12 inches, let it stand to room temperature while you place the sugar
and vanilla in a large 10 inch oven proof sauté pan, heat on a medium setting
till ingredients are combined & they turn a caramel color -approximately 4-5
minutes. Take the pan off the heat (be careful not to overcook or the sugar will
burn).
Place the fruit on its side back to front (alternating between the apples and
peaches) finishing off with a second layer of apples over the caramel (be
careful as the pan and the caramel are extremely hot).
Pick up the puff pastry sheet and drape over the top of the pan, crimping the
edges into the pans rim. Place into the oven for 40-45 minutes (till the top of
the pastry is golden brown and crisp). After the tarte comes out of the oven
invert it unto a large plate. Serve the tart warm with a scoop of sorbet.
Besides apple and peach try the following combinations:
Apple/Banana Pear/Nectarine Pear/Mango
Apple/ Plum Pear/Kiwi |
