🍎 Jamie Oliver Tarte Tatin Ingredients
- Plain flour, For Dusting
- 500 g (17.6 oz) puff pastry
- 800 g (28 oz) small eating apples, about 5 apples, a mix of sweet and acidic varieties
- 100 g (3.5 oz) golden caster sugar
- 100 ml (3.4 fl oz) Calvados
- 1 vanilla pod, split lengthwise with seeds scraped out
- 50 g (1.8 oz) butter, cubed
🥮 How To Make Jamie Oliver Tarte Tatin
- Preheat the Oven: First, set your oven to heat up to 190°C (375°F/gas 5). This is the perfect temperature to bake the tarte.
- Prepare the Puff Pastry: On a clean surface, sprinkle some flour. Use a rolling pin also dusted with flour to roll out your puff pastry. You want it just over 0.5 cm (0.2 inches) thick. Make sure it’s big enough to cover your ovenproof frying pan and leave about 5 cm (2 inches) extra around the edges. Put the pastry aside for now.
- Prepare the Apples: Peel the apples, then cut them in half horizontally. Use a teaspoon to remove the seeds and cores. This makes sure your tarte is smooth and free of hard bits.
- Make the Caramel: Place your ovenproof pan over a medium heat and add the golden caster sugar, Calvados, and the vanilla seeds along with the pod. Let the sugar dissolve completely and cook it until it turns into a light caramel color. Remember, never touch or taste the caramel while it’s hot because it can cause burns.
- Cook the Apples: Once your caramel is a lovely chestnut brown and smells delicious, add your halved apples to the pan. Stir everything gently and cook for about 5 minutes. You’ll know it’s ready when the apples start to soften and smell like toffee apples. Then add the cubed butter.
- Bake the Tarte: Lay the pastry over the top of the apples in the pan. Quickly and carefully push the pastry down into the edges of the pan. It’s a good idea to use a wooden spoon for this so you don’t touch the hot caramel. Bake the tarte Tatin in the oven for about 25 to 30 minutes. It should look golden and have crispy, caramelized bits bubbling around the edges.
- Turn Out the Tarte Tatin: After removing the tarte from the oven, allow it to cool for a few minutes. Carefully cover the pan with a serving plate or board that is larger than the pan itself. Protect your hand with an oven glove, and then quickly and confidently flip the pan over to turn the tarte out onto the plate or board.
- Serve the Tarte Tatin: Let the tarte cool slightly, then slice it up. Serve each slice with a spoonful of crème fraîche or ice cream. For the best flavor, enjoy the tarte while it is still warm.
đź’ Recipe Tips
- Pick Good Apples: Mix sweet and sour apples to make the tarte taste better. This mix makes the flavor interesting.
- Roll the Pastry Right: Make sure the pastry is even and about 0.5 cm thick. This helps it cook all the same way, so it’s perfect all over.
- Keep an Eye on the Caramel: Watch the caramel closely while it cooks. Stop cooking when it turns a nice brown color, so it doesn’t burn and taste bad.
- Fit the Pastry Well: Push the pastry down well around the edges after you cover the apples. This keeps the apple bits inside and helps make a good crust when you turn it upside down.
- Be Careful When Flipping: Flipping the tarte out of the pan is important. Do it carefully to avoid getting burnt and to keep everything looking nice and together.
