Vegan Tarte Tatin

Vegan Tarte Tatin

Tarte Tatin is one of those desserts that sound fancier than they actually are, and I’m the biggest fan of secretly quick and easy recipes. This vegan version of the famous French tart calls for plant-based puff pastry and a few tablespoons of vegan butter. The rest of the ingredients are true to the original, as is the tart’s rustic appearance and rich flavour.

ingredients
 

  • 1 roll vegan puff pastry*
  • 2 pounds apples - (I used Braeburn)
  • ½ cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons vegan butter
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract

instructions
 

  • Peel, core and quarter the apples.
  • Using a 9-inch (23 cm) flat-sided cake pan, tart dish or cast iron skillet as a template, cut a circle out from the puff pastry. Using a fork, poke holes all over to provide ventilation. Set aside.
  • Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • In a large saucepan over low heat, distribute the sugar evenly and cook until light amber in colour, stirring to help melt any lumps, 5-7 minutes.
  • Add vegan butter, stirring constantly until the colour is a creamy light brown.
  • Add the apples, stirring until they are coated in a thick layer of caramel. Cook for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Remove from the heat when the caramel has reduced and little remains in the bottom of the pan. Be careful not to burn the caramel, tasting it from time to time to ensure it does not taste bitter. Add vanilla extract at this point if using.
  • Arrange the apple slices in concentric circles on the bottom of the cake pan. Press the apples tightly against each other, then pour the remaining caramel over the top.
  • Lay the circle of puff pastry on top. Tuck the puff pastry down the sides of the pan.
  • Bake for 45-50 minutes, until the pastry is golden brown and firm.
  • Cool for at least 1 hour, then invert onto a plate.
  • Slice and serve with vanilla ice cream.

notes

  • In the UK, I know that Jus-Rol and Pepperidge Farm are definitely vegan.
