Equipment

  • 1 Yorkshire pudding tray or similar, with 4 shallow spaces that are around a palm-sized each.
  • 1 fine mesh sieve
  • 1 knife
  • 1 Chopping board

Ingredients
 

  • 1 large apple A sweet and crisp variety that also has acidity like Braeburn.
  • 150 grams (5 oz) sheet of all butter puff pastry For ease, I use a store-bought sheet of puff pastry.
  • 2 tablespoon butter
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon powdered sugar
  • 1 tablespoon brown caster sugar
  • 1 tablespoon maple syrup

Instructions
 

  • Pre-heat the oven to 200 degrees Celsius/400 degrees Fahrenheit. 
  • Generously grease the tray with butter, ensuring the sides and base are covered. 
  • Mix the ground cinnamon and powdered sugar together and place them into a fine mesh sieve. Dust over the tray ensuring the butter is covered in a fine coating of cinnamon sugar.
  • Sprinkle the brown sugar into the base of the tray, then drizzle the maple syrup on top. 
  • Quarter and core the apple, then slice it into thin pieces. 
  • Lay the apples into the tray in a circular pattern (or however you like but try and keep them from stacking too much on top of each other).
  • Cut circles from the puff pastry sheet the size of the tray holes and lay them on top of the apples. 
  • Bake the Tarte Tatin in the oven for 15 minutes until the puff pastry is golden brown on top and you can hear the apples bubbling. 
  • Lay a flat tray on top of the puff pastry, and carefully flip them over. 
  • Lift off the Yorkshire pudding tray (watch out, it will be hot) and your individual apple Tarte Tatin will be ready and waiting. If any are stubborn, careful prise out with a spatula.
  • Serve topped with a scoop of vanilla ice cream and an extra dusting of cinnamon.
