Recipe - Tarte Des Demoiselles Tatin

1 Sheet (One half pound) frozen
puff pastry; thawed
3 pound Golden Delicious apples
Juice of 1 lemon
1 Stick (One half cup) unsalted
butter; cut into thin
Ieces
One half cup Sugar
Whipped cream as
accompaniment

Peel, halve, and core the apples, brushing them with the lemon juice as
they are cored. In a 10 1/4inch round copper gratin pan., 1 One half inches
deep, arrange the butter pieces on the bottom and sprinkle them with the
sugar. Arrange the apples, round side down, in 2 concentric circles,
overlapping them slightly, in the pan. Cook the apple mixture over
moderately low heat for 30 to 35 minutes, or until

the sugar is a golden brown caramel, transfer it to the middle of a
preheated 400 degree oven, and bake it for 10 to 15 minutes, or until

the apples are just tender. Let the apple mixture cool for 5 minutes.
Arrange the dough over the apple mixture and let it soften just until

the edges can be tucked down between the apples and the side of the pan.
Prick the dough and bake the tart in the middle of the oven for 25 to 30
minutes, or until the pastry is golden. Invert a heatproof serving plate
over the pan and invert the tarte Tatin carefully onto it. Serve warm with
whipped cream.
