Maple Banana Tart Tarte Tatin Recipe 465

BANANA TARTE TATIN

Steps:

• To make the tart: Combine the sugar and water in a 10-inch ovenproof sauté pan over medium heat; it should look like wet sand. Cook without stirring until the sugar melts and begins to caramelize into a syrup, about 3 minutes. Once the sugar starts to liquefy, stir with a wooden spoon so it doesn't burn. Continue to cook until the sugar begins to boil and takes on a medium amber color, about 2 minutes more. Remove from the heat and carefully add the butter, stirring to melt. Set the pan aside so the caramel firms up slightly.
• Preheat the oven to 475°F
• Peel and slice the bananas crosswise into coins. Lay the puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface and roll it out slightly so it covers the pan, set a dinner plate on top of the pastry and cut around the outside rim to make a 10-inch circle.
• Place the banana slices over the caramel in tight, concentric circles to cover the entire bottom of the pan. Cover the bananas with the disk of puff pastry and make 3 slits in the top to let the steam escape. Using a pastry brush, coat the top with egg wash. Transfer to the oven and bake until the pastry is puffed and golden and the filling is bubbly, about 30 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and let the tart rest for 1 minute to settle. The pastry should have shrunken slightly and pulled away from the sides of the pan. Run a knife around the inside rim of the pan to make sure the tart will come out easily. Set a serving plate on top of the pan and quickly flip it over to invert the tart.
• To Server: Cut the Banana Tarte Tatin into wedges. Top each serving with a drizzle of the reserved Maple Crème Anglaise and a scoop of Maple Sugar Ice Cream.

BANANA MAPLE TART TATIN

Steps:

• On a floured surface, roll the pastry out a bit to even out the any folds and make it a touch thinner. Cut a 10-inch circle of dough from it, prick it, and keep it chilled.
• Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place a heavy 9 or 10-inch metal cake pan on the stove on a large burner and turn the heat onto medium. Add the butter and warm to melt it. Add the maple syrup and vanilla bean and bring to a boil stirring a bit. Remove the vanilla bean. Take the pan off the heat and place the banana slices in the pan decoratively in concentric circles to cover the whole bottom of the pan. Place the pastry over the bananas to cover them, tucking the pastry down along the inside of the pan. Later, during baking, the pastry will shrink to fit the pan.
• Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until the pastry is golden brown. Let cool in the pan 30 minutes then warm the bottom of the pan on the stove for a minute and turn the tart out onto a serving platter.

Steps:

• Unfold puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Using a lightly floured rolling pin, roll into a 12" square about 1/8" thick. Using a 12" plate as a guide, cut out a 12" round with a sharp paring knife. Transfer pastry round to a baking sheet; cover with plastic wrap and chill until ready to use.
• Preheat oven to 425°F. Swirl butter and maple syrup in a 12" heavy ovenproof skillet over medium heat until butter melts. Sprinkle sugar over, evenly coating bottom of skillet. Add apples, cut side down; increase heat to medium-high and cook until sugar melts, occasionally swirling apples in pan, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and cook, continuing to swirl apples in pan, about 5 minutes longer. Flip apples (rounded side down), and cook, swirling apples occasionally, until syrup is thick and golden brown, 5-10 minutes longer.
• Cover apples with pastry round, tucking in edges of pastry. Bake until pastry is light golden brown, about 10 minutes. Reduce heat to 375°F; bake until pastry is puffed and deep golden, about 20 minutes longer.
• Let tarte Tatin cool for 15 minutes. Invert a serving plate over skillet. Using oven mitts, firmly hold plate and skillet and invert tarte onto plate. Remove skillet; rearrange apples if needed and scrape any caramel in skillet over. Serve warm or at room temperature with ice cream.

MAPLE-BANANA TART (TARTE TATIN) RECIPE - (4.6/5)

Steps:

• Unfold the pastry on a lightly floured work surface and smooth out any creases or folds. Using a small knife, cut a round of dough that is about 1 inch bigger than the top of an an ovenproof 9- or 10-inch skillet. Transfer the circle to a sheet pan, prick it all over with a fork, and keep it refrigerated. Heat the oven to 425º F degrees. Meanwhile, heat the skillet over medium-high heat and melt butter. Add the maple syrup, brown sugar and cinnamon, and bring to a boil, stirring occasionally. Let simmer for 5 minutes to thicken slightly. Turn off the heat and arrange the banana slices to cover the whole bottom of the pan. Carefully lay the pastry circle over the bananas, pressing any extra pastry around the sides of the pan so that it comes up the wall of the pan (rather than down around the bananas). Bake for 25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown. Cool in the pan for at least 20 minutes and up to 1 day. Just before serving, warm the bottom of the pan for 1 or 2 minutes on the stove over low heat to loosen the caramel. Place a serving plate over the pan and quickly flip to turn the tart out, so the bananas face up. Serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
