Equipment
- Oven-safe skillet
- Rolling pin (optional for puff pastry)
- Knife and cutting board
- Mixing bowls
- None
Ingredients
- 4 medium apples (Granny Smith)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 sheet puff pastry thawed
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
Instructions
- Set your oven to 375°F (190°C). A hot oven ensures the pastry bakes evenly. While waiting, prep your apples. Peel, core, and slice them thinly. Toss slices with lemon juice and cinnamon to prevent browning and enhance flavor.
- In a skillet over medium heat, melt butter. Add sugar and stir until it melts into golden caramel. Be patient—it takes about 5 minutes. Watch closely to avoid burning. Pro tip: Use a light-colored pan to monitor color changes easily.
- Arrange apple slices neatly in the caramel. Cook for 8-10 minutes until softened but not mushy. The caramel will coat each slice beautifully. Imagine the aroma filling your kitchen—sweet, warm, and inviting!
- Cover the apples with puff pastry. Tuck edges inside the skillet for a tidy finish. This step traps steam, ensuring juicy apples beneath flaky crust. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
