Directions Maple-Pear Tarte Tatin
Directions
-
Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
Roll puff pastry out on a lightly floured surface to 1/4-inch thickness, place in the refrigerator.
Melt butter in a 9-inch cast iron skillet over medium heat, stir in brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg and cook and stir until sugar dissolves, about 5 minutes. Stir maple syrup into brown sugar mixture, cook, stirring, until mixture begins to bubble. Remove skillet from heat.
Place one pear half, cut side up, into the center of skillet. Cut remaining pear halves in half again, arrange pear quarters around the center pear, cut sides up.
Place skillet over medium-low heat, cook pears, basting with syrup mixture, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Remove skillet from heat.
Remove puff pastry from refrigerator, place pastry over pears, tucking edges of pastry around pears inside skillet.
Bake in the preheated oven until pastry is puffed and golden, about 20 minutes, allow to cool for 5 minutes. Place a serving plate over skillet, invert to remove tart (skillet will still be hot). Serve warm.
