Instructions

Step 1

Prepare the Pears

Begin by peeling the pears and slicing them in half. Remove the cores carefully to maintain the shape of the pears.

Step 2

Make the Caramel

To create the caramel, combine *unsalted butter*, sugar, and your *choice of spices* in a pan. Arrange the pears on top and cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes. Ensure the pears are not burning but achieve a lovely caramel color. Use a pan with a *removable handle* so you can easily transfer it to the oven.

Step 3

Prepare and Bake the Tart

Roll out two sheets of *puff pastry* and cut them into a circular shape. Cover the pears with the pastry, folding the edges inward. Make a few slits in the pastry to allow steam to escape. Place the tart in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) and bake for 35-40 minutes.

Step 4

Serve the Tart

Carefully invert the tarte tatin onto a plate. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an indulgent treat!

Faq

  • What type of pears should I use for Tarte Tatin?

    For best results, use firm, slightly under-ripe pears like Bosc or Anjou. These types hold their shape well during caramelizing and baking.

  • How can I prevent my caramel from burning?

    Keep a close eye on the caramel while cooking, and use medium heat. Stir gently and remove from heat as soon as it reaches a rich amber color. You can always test with a spoonful.

  • How do I keep my pastry from becoming soggy?

    Ensure your caramel is thick and not too watery before layering the pastry. Also, allow the tarte to sit for a few minutes after baking to let the juices settle without soaking the pastry.

  • Is it possible to make the tarte ahead of time?

    Yes! You can prepare the caramelized pears in advance and refrigerate them. Assemble and bake the tarte fresh on the day of serving for the best texture and flavor.

  • Can I use other fruits instead of pears?

    Absolutely! Apples and plums are popular alternatives that hold up beautifully in Tarte Tatin. Just adjust the cooking time as needed for different fruits.

  • How do I store leftover Pear Tarte Tatin?

    Keep leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator. You can retain its crunch by reheating it briefly in an oven or a toaster oven before serving.
