Super quickTarte Tatin

Preparation time: approx. 20 minutes (plus approx. 12 minutes baking time)

Makes 12 slices

200 g sugar

pinch of cinnamon

20 g butter

3–4 apples, depending on size

1 tbsp lemon juice

1 pack frozen puff pastry

flour for the work surface

1. Pre-heat the oven to 220 °C (Gas Mark 7). Sprinkle the base of an ovenproof frying pan with sugar and cinnamon. Add butter flakes. Peel and core the apples and slice the fruit. Immediately mix with lemon juice in a bowl.

2. Spread the sliced apples on top of the sugar and gently warm over a medium heat, without stirring. Meanwhile, thinly roll out the puff pastry on a floured work surface.

3. As soon as the sugar starts to brown, cover the apple with the puff pastry. Cut away any pastry overlapping at the edges, prick the pastry lid several times with a fork and put the frying pan into the oven for approx. 12 minutes.

4. Remove, leave to rest briefly and turn out onto a cake platter while still warm.
