Recipe - Individual Tartes Tatin

1 Golden delicious apple
1 Frozen puff pastry sheet
(from one 17 1/4ounce
package frozen puff pastry
sheets), thawed
2 tablespoon Unsalted butter
One fourth cup Packed light brown sugar
2 tablespoon Water

GARNISH
Vanilla ice cream

Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

Peel apple, halve lengthwise, and core. Using a 1cup ramekin (3 One fourth inches
across and 2 One fourth inches deep) as a guide, cut out 2 rounds from pastry
sheet.

In a 7inch heavy skillet heat butter over moderate heat until foam
subsides and stir in brown sugar and water. Add apple halves and cook,
turning frequently, 3 minutes. In two 1cup ramekins set on a baking sheet
arrange apple halves, cored sides up, and top evenly with sauce.

Top apples with pastry rounds, letting edges of pastry hang over sides of
apples. Bake tarts in middle of oven 20 minutes, or until pastry is puffed
and golden brown, and cool on a rack 5 minutes. Working with 1 ramekin at a
time, invert a plate over each ramekin and invert ramekin onto plate.
Carefully lift off ramekins. Serve tarts with ice cream.

Yield: 2 individual tarts
