Found this recipe very interesting..... APPLE TARTE TATIN Change Servings 3 tablespoons butter 3/4 cup white sugar 3 large apples - peeled, cored, and quartered 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour PASTRY SHEETS /unbaked pie crust Directions Preheat oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Coat a 10-inch oven-proof skillet with butter. Sprinkle sugar evenly over the top of the butter. Place apple quarters, rounded sides down, on top of the butter and sugar in a circular pattern. Place skillet over medium-high heat and cook until butter melts and sugar dissolves and begins to caramelize. Continue to cook until apples soften and caramel begins to brown, 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat. Sprinkle work surface with flour and roll pie dough into an 11-inch circle. Pinch edge to create a ruffle around crust. Place crust on top of apples and tuck in edges around apples. Bake in the preheated oven until crust is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Allow to cool for 5 minutes. Place a plate over the top of the pan and carefully invert to release tarte from the pan. Scrape any remaining apples stuck to the pan back on top of crust.

My healthier version only uses enough butter to coat the pan, about 2 teaspoons. And it’s less sugary, using only 1/4 cup sugar instead of the usual 1 cup. What’s even better—it’s supereasy to make. 1. Preheat oven to 400°. Peel, core, and slice 2 pounds apples (Cortland, Gala, or Fuji); set aside. 2. Place 1 sheet puff pastry on a piece of wax paper, and roll into a circle the size of your pan; chill in fridge. Put cast-iron or other ovenproof pan on stove. Coat bottom and sides of pan with just enough butter to leave a film. Add 1/4 cup brown sugar. Add apple slices in a concentric circle, starting with outside of pan; make 2 layers of apples. Turn heat to medium-high, and cook for 20 minutes. 3. Transfer to oven, and cook 20 minutes more. Remove and place puff pastry over apples. Bake 30 minutes more or until golden. 4. Remove from oven; cool for 15–20 minutes. Invert pan onto platter, and serve.
