"This tarte Tatin with puff pastry is quick, easy to bake and absolutely foolproof! Don't worry about flipping it (the supposedly tricky part of this French classic). With our tips, the pastry and topping will come out of the pan safely and there's not a lot that can go wrong. Leave the tart to cool for approx. 10–20 min., then carefully loosen the edges all around with a knife. Next, place a plate that is larger than the pan on top of the tart and turn it over in one go. Alternatively, you can also use a cake plate or a wooden board. And voilà! The perfect finale for a spontaneous candlelit dinner or a surprise visit. If you want to bake a slightly larger tart, simply double the amount of ingredients and extend the baking time by a few minutes if necessary."
