Mini-Tatin Recipe

Ingredients:

• 6-8 small red apples, pared and cored
• 1/4 cup butter
• 1/4 cup brown sugar
• 1 sheet ready-made puff pastry, thawed

Directions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. In a heavy skillet, melt butter and brown sugar together. Cook over low heat, stirring until sugar is dissolved and mixture is bubbling.
3. Add apples and cook over medium heat until lightly browned (about 10-15 minutes). Remove skillet from heat and let cool slightly.
4. Cut puff pastry into small circles (about the size of a cupcake liner).
5. Place pastry circles onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Spoon a portion of the apple mixture onto each pastry circle, making sure to distribute the caramelized mixture evenly.
7. Bake in preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until pastry is puffed and golden brown.
8. Remove from oven and let cool slightly before serving.

Verdict:

The Mini-Tatin is a delicious twist on the traditional classic. The caramelized apples add a rich and sweet flavor to the flaky puff pastry. This dessert is perfect for special occasions or a sweet treat after a meal.

Serving Suggestions:

Serve the Mini-Tatin warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. It can also be served as an elegant dessert at a dinner party or paired with a cup of freshly brewed coffee for a tasty afternoon snack.
