Tarte Tatin

 

Fruitcake

  • 200 GRAM PUFF PASTRY
  • 75 GRAM BUTTE
  • 100 GRAM SUGAR
  • 3 APPLES, peeled, cleaned and cut in half
 
  • 150 GRAM FLOUR
  • 125 GRAM BUTTER, soft
  • 125 GRAM SUGAR
  • 1 TSP BAKING SODA
  • 2 EGGS
  • 100 GRAM RAISINS
  • 1 TBSP GRATED LEMONRIND
  • 50 GRAM DRIED APRICOTS, chopped
  • 1/2 CUP AMARETTO

Spread the butter in a thick layer on the bottom of an oven form. Pour the sugar on the butter. Distribute the apples over the bottom. Roll the puff pastry out and cut a circle that fits easily on top of the apples. Lay the dough circle on the apples. Put the form for a short time on a high flame, until the sugar caramelizes. Now bake the pie 20 minutes at 200 degrees Celsius. Turn the pie upside down on a plate and serve preferably hot.

See for a very special version of this delicious pie also rhubarb tarte tatin. For other upside down pies, see pear spice cake, pineapple cake and for a savoury version endive tarte tatin.

Soak the raisins in the amaretto for two hours. In the meantime mix all the other ingredients together, then add the raisins. Grease a baking tin, poor in the batter, put in the fridge for 20 minutes. Bake 7 minutes at 225 degrees and 35 minutes at 180 degrees Celsius.
