Ingredients

1 cup white granulated sugar
4 tablespoons butter (see notes)
¼ cup water
5 Golden Delicious apples, peeled, cored and quartered
1 pastry dough recipe

Steps

Preheat oven to 400°F.
Place sugar, butter and water in a stovetop/oven-safe tarte dish over medium-high heat. Cook until mixture becomes golden brown and bubbly.
Remove from heat and allow mixture to cool to room temperature in the tarte dish.
When caramel mixture has cooled, arrange the apple quarters on their sides in the mixture.
Roll the pastry dough out to a thickness of about ½ inch and a diameter large enough to cover the tarte dish.
Place dough on top of the tarte, then trim and discard the edges.
Bake tarte for 40 minutes.
Allow to cool in the tarte dish for 15 minutes before inverting onto a serving platter.
