Ingredients

6 apples

1 shortcrust pastry

1 lemon

150 grams of sugar

70 grams of butter with salt

Preparation

Step 1 : In a baking dish or ovenproof pot, place the sugar and butter, letting it melt over low heat until a golden caramel forms.

Step 2 : Peel the apples and cut them into wedges, drizzling with lemon juice to prevent oxidation.

Step 3 : Arrange the apple wedges over the caramel, making sure there are no empty spaces.

Step 4 : Cover the dish and cook over low heat to allow the apples to caramelize for 10 minutes.

Step 5 : Preheat the oven to 180°C.

Step 6 : Then, roll out the shortcrust pastry with a rolling pin and place it over the dish with the apples.

Step 7 : Trim any excess pastry, folding the edges inward.

Step 8 : Poke the entire surface of the pastry to allow steam to escape during baking.

Step 9 : Bake the tart for 30 minutes or until it reaches a golden color.

Step 10 : Once ready, remove from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack.

Step 11 : Once cooled, invert the tart onto a serving plate and serve with a quenelle of crème fraîche or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
