This French apple tart with puff pastry and cinnamon is baked upside down, with the apples on the bottom of the pan and the pastry on top. The pan is buttered and coated with cane sugar, then filled with thin slices of sweet apples sprinkled with cinnamon and covered with puff pastry. The tart bakes for 30 minutes at 180°C (350°F) and is inverted after cooling so the caramelized apples are on top. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

Instructions

Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.

Grease a tart pan with the butter and coat it with the sugar. Peel the apples, cut them into thin slices, sprinkle with cinnamon, and arrange evenly in the pan.
Cover the apples with the puff pastry and bake at 180°C (350°F) for 30 minutes.
Let the tart cool, then invert it so the apples are on top. Serve with vanilla ice cream.

Tip: Tuck the edges of the puff pastry between the apples and the sides of the pan, and pierce the center of the pastry several times to let steam escape and keep the pastry crisp.
