2 large green apples, peeled, cut into quarters, remove core and cut into 1/2 inch slices
1/2 stick sweet butter
1/4 cup sugar
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, defrosted

Pre heat oven to 400 degrees.

Spread butter in the bottom of a room temperature nine-inch oven proof sauté pan. Sprinkle sugar completely over bottom of pan. Arrange apple slices on top of sugar. Cover apples with puff pastry dough, but do not stretch dough. Press dough lightly around the inside rim of the pan. Cut away corners of excess dough so puff pastry fits into the round sauté pan. With the tip of a knife poke three to four tiny holes in dough.

On the stove top begin to cook the tart on a high heat until the dough begins to bubble. This will take about 3-4 minutes. By cooking on the stove top you are browning the sugars and apples. Once the tart has been cooked on the stove top, place the tart in the oven for ten to twelve minutes or until the pastry is light brown and fully baked.

Remove tart from oven, allow to set about thirty seconds. CAREFULLY, with a large serving platter place inverted over tart. With a towel holding the hot pan and anther hand on top of the inverted platter, turn the platter right side up and un-mold the tart from the sauté pan.

Top with powdered sugar. Serve warm with fresh whip cream or ice cream.
