Now for a retro dessert …

The last time I wrote this version of Tarte Tatin was in June 2019 – how time flies!

Here it is :


Toffee Apple Tarte Tatin


6-8 large Cox's apples, peeled, cored and sliced

115g unsalted butter

125g soft dark brown sugar

1 orange, zest and juice


One ready to use 1 x 320g puff pastry sheet.


6 individual circular tins measuring 10cms/4” in diameter.


Place the apples, butter, soft dark brown sugar, orange zest and juice into a large frying pan and cook for 10 minutes until tender.

You can cook the apples ahead and freeze them, ready to use at your convenience.

Pre-heat oven 180 fan/200c/Gas 6.

Unroll your puff pastry sheet and cut into six circles, using a ring that is at least the same diameter as the tin – it can be slightly larger. Spoon the toffee apple mixture into your tins and then add a puff pastry circle, tucking it into the tin.

Bake for 25 minutes.

When you are ready to serve – I would suggest you use a dessert bowl – place it over the tin and flip it – ensuring you do so away from yourself.

Serve with clotted cream.

If you forget to buy a fresh orange 4 tablespoons of pure orange juice is the equivalent amount from the whole fruit.

There are photos too ...
