Jamie Oliver Apple Tarte Tatin
Apple tarte tatin is a traditional French dessert where apples are caramelised in butter and sugar, topped with pastry, and baked. Once cooked, it’s flipped over to reveal glossy, golden apples on top.

Ingredients
- 6 medium apples (Braeburn, Granny Smith, or similar)
- 100 g caster sugar
- 60 g unsalted butter
- 1 sheet ready-rolled puff pastry
- Pinch of salt
Instructions
Peel, core, and cut the apples into halves or thick quarters. Keeping them chunky helps them hold their shape during cooking.
Place an ovenproof frying pan over medium heat. Add the sugar and let it melt slowly without stirring until it turns a light golden caramel. Add the butter carefully and swirl the pan until combined.
Arrange the apples snugly in the caramel, cut-side up. Cook gently for 10–12 minutes, spooning caramel over them occasionally, until they soften slightly and start to take on colour.
Remove the pan from the heat. Lay the puff pastry over the apples, tucking the edges down inside the pan. Prick the pastry lightly with a fork to let steam escape.
Transfer the pan to a preheated oven at 190°C (170°C fan) and bake for 25–30 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden.
Let the tart rest for 5 minutes, then carefully invert it onto a serving plate. Lift the pan slowly so the apples stay neatly arranged.
