Mini Apple Tarte Tatins
Chef Sylvain Moretto from luxury hotel barge, Enchanté, shares his popular recipe for mini apple tarte tatins – a twist on a French culinary classic.
Equipment
- 8 individual tart moulds
- Round pastry cutter the same size as the moulds
- Rolling pin
- Metal baking tray
- Whisk
Pastry
- 150g Plain flour
- 75g Softened butter
- 30g White granulated sugar
- 1 tsp Water
- 1 Egg yolk
Method
- By hand or using a mixer, mix the butter and sugar.
- Add flour and combine.
- Add the egg yolk, then water, and mix.
- When dough is smooth and malleable, gently flatten, wrap in clingwrap.
- Refrigerate while you prepare the apples.
Caramel Apples
- 6 Golden apples
- 200g Butter
- 200g White granulated sugar
Method
- Preheat oven 200°C/400°F.
- Peel apples, cut in half, core, then quarter.
- Cube the butter.
- Put butter in a large pan, pour all the sugar on top and heat.
- Once it starts to caramelize, whisk continuously.
- Be careful, caramel can burn quickly. If you need to stop the heat quickly, place the pan into a basin of cold water for 30 seconds (no longer otherwise it will harden).
- Divide the caramel mixture equally into 8 tart moulds.
- Place 3 apple quarters into each mould, on top of the caramel.
- Wrap aluminium foil around each individual tart and place on baking tray.
- Bake for 20 minutes in the oven.
- Take out tray and put aside to slightly cool.
- Take the pastry and roll out to 4-5mm thick and cut out 8 circles the same size as the tart moulds.
- Take off the aluminium covers from each mould and tip out the juice and discard.
- Place a pastry circle on top of each mould.
- Bake for another 20 minutes.
- Take out tray and turn each mould upside down onto serving plates.
- Serve warm, with vanilla ice-cream or double cream with cinnamon.
