Description

Peach Tarte Tatin is a caramelized upside-down tart made with buttery puff pastry and ripe peaches cooked in golden caramel. This elegant yet simple dessert is perfect for showcasing fresh peaches and makes a stunning finale to any meal.


Ingredients

  • 45 fresh peaches, peeled and sliced
  • 3/4 cup granulated sugar
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter
  • 1 sheet puff pastry (store-bought or homemade)
  • 1 tsp lemon juice (optional)
  • 1/2 tsp vanilla extract or ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Flour, for dusting

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

  1. In an oven-safe skillet (preferably cast iron), melt the butter over medium heat. Add the sugar and cook, stirring occasionally, until the mixture turns a light amber caramel, about 5–7 minutes.
  2. Arrange peach slices over the caramel in a circular pattern. Cook for 5–10 minutes until the peaches start to soften. Add lemon juice or cinnamon if desired.
  3. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut it to fit the skillet. Carefully place it over the peaches, tucking in the edges around the fruit.
  4. Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and puffed.
  5. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Place a serving plate over the skillet and carefully invert the tart onto the plate.
  6. Serve warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.

Notes

  1. Watch the caramel closely to avoid burning—remove from heat once it turns amber.
  2. Use ripe but firm peaches for best results.
  3. To make ahead, bake and store covered in the fridge, then reheat before serving.
  4. For added flavor, try a splash of bourbon or a sprinkle of fresh herbs like thyme before baking.
  5. Peeling the peaches is optional, but helps the tart release more cleanly.
