Requiring only 6 ingredients, this festive tarte tatin is a total crowd pleaser! It features store bought rich and flaky puff pastry, Autumn Glory apples, and a luscious maple syrup and whisky caramel.

Ingredients

  • 1/3 cup maple syrup
  • 1/2 stick unsalted vegan butter
  • 2 tbsp whisky or bourbon
  • Pinch of sea salt
  • 4 Autumn Glory apples , peeled, quartered, and cored
  • 1 14 oz pack puffed pastry , thawed (I like to use Tenderflake)
  • all-purpose flour , for dusting

Recipe

  1. Step 1

    Over medium-high heat, bring maple syrup to a boil in a 9-inch cast iron pan.

  2. Step 2

    Add butter and melt. Stir in whisky, cinnamon, and salt. Cook for 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Decrease the heat to medium-low, arrange the apples in a circle and cook for 10 minutes, spooning some of the hot syrup onto the apples from time to time.

  4. Step 4

    Preheat the oven to 400ºF.

  5. Step 5

    Dust a clean surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry into a 12-inch square.

  6. Step 6

    Cut a circle of 12 inches wide out of it. Use your rolling pin to transfer the puff pastry onto the apples. Gently press down on the puff pastry, shaping it around the apples.

  7. Step 7

    Poke it with a fork and bake for 20-25 minutes or until the puff pastry has puffed up and is golden brown.

  8. Step 8

    Remove from the oven and let cool for 10 minutes, run a knife around the edges to loosen the puff pastry from the cast iron pan and carefully flip it onto a serving plate. Enjoy!

Common Questions & Swaps

If you want to use any other apples other than the Autumn Glory variety, I suggest opting for Fuji or Golden Delicious.
