Ingredients
– 1 package of puff pastry (thawed)
– 3 large apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
– 1 cup granulated sugar
– 1/2 cup unsalted butter
– 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
– 1/2 teaspoon ground cardamom
– 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
– 1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
– 1 egg (for egg wash)
– 1 tablespoon milk (for egg wash)
– Powdered sugar (for dusting, optional)
Instructions
Follow these simple steps to create your Chai-Spiced Apple Tatin Croissants:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare the Apples: Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin wedges.
3. Make the Caramel: In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and sugar together until it turns a golden brown color, stirring constantly.
4. Add Spices: Stir in the cinnamon, cardamom, nutmeg, and ginger until well combined.
5. Combine Apples and Caramel: Add the apple slices to the caramel and cook for about 5 minutes, until they are slightly softened and coated in the caramel.
6. Arrange in Baking Dish: Transfer the caramelized apples to a round baking dish, arranging them in a circular pattern. Pour any remaining caramel over the apples.
7. Roll Out Puff Pastry: On a floured surface, roll out the puff pastry to about 1/8 inch thickness.
8. Cut and Shape: Cut the pastry into triangles that are large enough to wrap around the apples. Place the triangles over the apples, tucking the edges into the dish.
9. Prepare Egg Wash: In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and milk. Brush the egg wash over the pastry.
10. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
11. Cool: Allow to cool for 15 minutes before inverting onto a serving platter. Be careful, as the caramel will be hot.
12. Dust with Powdered Sugar: If desired, dust the top with powdered sugar for an elegant finish.
