ingredients

flour, for dusting
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
4 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature
¹⁄₂ cup sugar
7 -9 gala apples (3-4lb) or 7 -9 braeburn apples, peeled, quartered and cored (3-4lb)
creme fraiche, for serving

directions

Preheat oven to 425°F.
On a lightly floured surface, and using a floured rolling pin, roll puff pastry into a 10 1/2 inch square. Brush off excess flour. Using a plate as a guide, cut a 10-inch round. Tranfer pastry round to a parchment-lined baking sheet, and refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
Meanwhile, coat bottom and sides of a 10-inch skillet with 4 tablespoons butter. Sprinkle sugar evenly over bottom. Arrange apple slices closely together in concentric circles in skillet, with rounded sides down. Place over medium-high heat, and cook without stirring, until juices are deep golden and bubbling, 18-20 minutes.
Line oven rack with foil to catch any juice, and place skillet on foil. Bake for 20 minutes (apples will settle slightly). Remove from oven and place pastry round over apples, bake until pastry is dark golden brown 23-28 minutes. let cool in skillet on a wire rack for 10 minutes before serving.
Invert tart on a serving dish. Gently remove any apples that may stick to skillet, and place on tart. Serve with Crème Fraîche.

I am a 56 year old Gramma that, for the first time in my life, has purchase myself a computer, and I didn't know what i was missing!! I have a husband tha I adore, and 4 grandchildren that of course surpass all others - lol - I am disabled, and am an at home person, so I have a lot of time on my hands, to play with my recipes, and I am enjoying every bit of it - My husband will eat anything that I cook, so I have carte blanche as far as that goes, so I have a great time trying out new recipes. Paula Deen has published some of my favorite cookbooks, her recipes are easy and quick to do. Her sweets are fantastics, especially her pound cakes, Yummm I guess the dish that I am famous for is my Christmas ham - my family all comes home for Christmas, and if i don't have my ham they are dissapointed, and my grandson wants the pistachio squares!!! so I guess that is the dishes that I'm famous for.
