Mary Berry Tarte Tatin Recipe
If you love warm desserts with rich flavor, this Mary Berry Tarte Tatin Recipe is perfect for you. It is sweet, buttery and filled with soft caramelized apples. The pastry is crisp, while the apples are tender and golden.
Ingredients
- 5 –6 apples peeled and halved
- 100 g sugar
- 75 g unsalted butter
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Juice of half a lemon
Instructions
Prepare the Apples
- Peel and core the apples. Cut them into halves. Toss them in lemon juice to prevent browning.
Make the Caramel
- Place sugar in an oven-safe pan. Heat gently until it melts and turns golden. Add butter carefully and stir until smooth.
Add Apples to Pan
- Arrange the apple halves in the caramel. Place them tightly together for even cooking and a beautiful pattern.
Cook the Apples
- Cook the apples in caramel for about 10 minutes. They will soften slightly and absorb the rich flavor.
Add Pastry on Top
- Roll out the puff pastry and place it over the apples. Tuck the edges inside the pan neatly.
Bake the Tart
- Transfer the pan to a preheated oven at 190°C. Bake for 25–30 minutes until the pastry is golden and crisp.
Cool Slightly
- Remove the pan from the oven. Let it cool for a few minutes. This helps the caramel settle slightly.
Flip the Tarte Tatin
- Place a plate over the pan. Carefully flip it upside down. Lift the pan slowly to reveal the caramelized apples.
Serve Warm
- Serve the tart warm. Enjoy the soft apples with crisp pastry and rich caramel flavor.
Notes
- Use firm apples like Granny Smith
- Do not burn the caramel
- Keep the apples tightly packed
- Add cinnamon for extra warmth
- Use pears instead of apples
- Serve with whipped cream or ice cream
