Method
- 1 Peel the apples, remove the cores, and cut them into wedges. Let them drain for 10 minutes to remove excess water.
- 2 Melt the sugar in a cast iron skillet until it caramelizes to an amber color, then add the unsalted butter and stir well.
- 3 Arrange the apples face down, making sure they fit snugly on the caramel layer, and simmer over low heat for 20 minutes to allow the apples to absorb the caramel.
- 4 Place the puff pastry sheet on top, tucking the edges of the dough down around the rim of the pan.
- 5 Bake at 190°C for 30 minutes, or until the top of the cake is golden brown and puffed up.
- 6 Let it cool for 10 minutes, then invert the pan onto a plate so that the caramelized apple layer is on top.

For step 5: spray oil on the edges of the small pan, run the oven on high heat at 205 degrees for 18 minutes and rotate the pan after 9 minutes; the crust will puff up and turn golden faster in 12 minutes, the large pan must be divided into smaller tarts.
