Ingredients
- 2/3 cup unsalted butter
- 1 cup maple sugar
- 8 à 10 apples (Golden Delicious or Cortland), peeled, cored, and halved
- 200 g sweet or shortcrust pastry, home-made or store-bought
Method
- Melt the butter in a 30 cm (12 in) diameter ovenproof skillet. Add the maple sugar and cook until the colour is a fairly dark caramel (being careful not to burn it).
- Put the apples in upright and pack them tightly together. If you have any left over, cut them into smaller quarters and push them into any free spaces. Return to the heat for another 10 minutes. Set aside.
- Roll out the pastry to a thickness of 2 to 3 mm (1/8 in or a bit less) and lay it on the apples, carefully tucking it inside the pan. Cut little vents with a paring knife.
- Bake in a 220° C (425° F) oven for 20 – 25 minutes.
- Remove from oven and invert onto a rimmed plate to unmould.
