This traditional French upside-down apple tart is an absolute treat for the taste buds.
Sometimes described as “toffee apples for adults”, tarte tatin is a glorious feast of sticky sweet caramel, juicy apples and crisp pastry. It turns the traditional apple cake on its head, placing the toffee-topped apples on the outside and leaving the supporting pastry base almost hidden underneath. This gluten free tarte tatin recipe goes for a gluten free shortcrust pastry, which offsets the sugary fruit perfectly and makes the tarte extra sturdy and extra buttery. Serve with a dollop of crème fraiche or vanilla ice-cream.
For a tart pan with a diameter of 26 cm:
- Prepare the shortcrust pastry, wrap it in plastic wrap, and refrigerate.
- Heat water, sugar, and citric acid.
- Peel, quarter, and core the apples, then blanch them for about 4-6 minutes and drain.
- Preheat the oven to 200°C (392°F).
- Melt the sugar in portions of about 70g to make caramel, add salt, and evenly distribute it in a buttered tart pan.
- Distribute butter flakes over the caramel.
- Place the blanched apples with the peel side down on the caramel and cover with the shortcrust pastry.
- Place the tart pan on baking parchment and bake in the oven at 200°C (392°F) for 35-40 minutes. It may overflow.
- After baking, invert the tart onto a serving plate.
