The apricot tarte tatin is the summer variant of the classic tarte tatin, the famous dessert with apples of French origin: a quick and delicious cake, baked “upside down”, perfect as a snack to accompany a cup of espresso or to take to the table at the end of the meal during a dinner with special guests.

To prepare it, start with the shortcrust pastry, which is obtained by quickly mixing the flour with the cold butter in pieces, the ice water and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Once it has set in the fridge, simply pour a sauce made with butter and caramelized sugar on the bottom of a baking tray lined with baking paper, spread the halved and pitted apricots on top and then cover everything with the pasta, rolled into a very thin sheet. Baking in the oven does the rest, slowly candied the fruit and resulting in a delicious dessert that can be turned out onto a serving plate while still hot and sprinkled with flaked almonds if desired.

In this recipe we have used a round mold with a diameter of 20 cm, but nothing prevents you from preparing the Tarte Tatin in a mini version: you will get many small single-portion tarts, ideal for placing in the dessert corner on a party buffet or for the little ones for a tasty and authentic break.

Making brisée at home is really simple and within everyone’s reach, but if you want to reduce the preparation time even further, you can buy a ready-packaged bun or, alternatively, replace it with a savory pastry or a crazy pastry, even lighter and without butter.
