Ingredients
  

For the Apple Filling:

  • 6 firm apples peeled, halved, and cored
  • 1/2 cup 1 stick unsalted butter
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • Pinch of salt

For the Crust:

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry thawed

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Caramelize the sugar: In a 10-inch ovenproof skillet over medium heat, melt butter and sugar until golden and bubbly. Stir in vanilla and a pinch of salt.
  • Arrange apples cut-side up in the skillet. Cook for 15–20 minutes, occasionally spooning caramel over them, until softened.
  • Top with puff pastry: Drape over the apples, tucking edges down around fruit. Cut a few slits in the top to vent.
  • Bake for 25–30 minutes until the pastry is golden and crisp.
  • Cool slightly, then place a plate over the skillet and carefully invert.
  • Serve warm with crème fraîche, ice cream, or just as-is!

Notes

  • Use caution when flipping—caramel is hot!
  • Can be made a few hours ahead and rewarmed before serving.
