The Upside Down Pie – Régal

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
• 3 large apples, peeled and thinly sliced
• 1/2 cup granulated sugar
• 1/2 cup unsalted butter

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
2. Generously grease a 9-inch pie dish.
3. In a small saucepan, melt butter and mix in sugar. Raise heat to high and stir constantly until the mixture turns into a caramel sauce. Quickly pour the caramel into the bottom of the pie dish.
4. Arrange the sliced apples over the caramel in the bottom of the dish, forming a even layer.
5. Carefully unroll the pastry sheet and place it over the apples, tucking any excess pastry into the edges of the pie dish.
6. Bake the pie for 30-35 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
7. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for 5 minutes, then invert it onto a serving plate.
8. Serve warm or at room temperature, garnished with whipped cream or a dusting of powdered sugar.

Verdict:

A simple and elegant dessert that looks like it took hours to create. The caramel sauce adds a depth of flavor to the sweet apples, and the buttery puff pastry brings everything together. Highly recommended for a special occasion or a cozy night in.

Serving Suggestions:

Pairs well with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce. Serve with a hot cup of tea or coffee for the perfect end to any meal.
