Ingredients
14 ounce All butter puff pastry
1 stick unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
12 pieces Golden Delicious apples (peeled, cored and halved)
1 dash crème fraîche
Preparation
On lightly floured work surface, roll out puff pastry to 1/8" thickness. Cut out a 12" round, transfer to baking sheet and refrigerate; reserve the pastry scraps for another use.
In a 10" cast iron skillet, melt the butter. Add the sugar and cook over low; stirring occasionally until sure is dissolved and mixture simmers (2 min). Remove from heat. Arrange apple halves standing upright in the skillet in 2 snug concentric circles. Return to heat and cook undisturbed until an amber caramel forms; about 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375*. Top apples with puff pastry and bake about 40 minutes; until the pastry is golden and the apples are tender. Let cool for 15 minutes.
Place large plate over skillet and carefully invert. Serve warm with dollop of crème fraîche.
