Apple And Pear Tarte Tatin - cooking recipe

Ingredients

9 tbsp unsalted butter, at room temperature
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 lbs small apples, peeled, halved and cored
1 1/2 lbs small pears, peeled, halved and cored
2 sheets butter puff pastry
None None whipped cream or ice-cream (optional), to serve

Preparation

Preheat oven to 425\u00b0F. Spread butter over base of a deep 10 inch cast iron pan. Sprinkle with sugar and top with apples and pears, cut-side up. Cover with pastry leaving a 3/4 inch overhang. Tuck overhanging pastry inside pan and chill for 20 mins.
Heat pan on high for 20-25 mins, until butter and sugar are bubbling and brown. Bake for 20 mins, until pastry is golden and crisp. Invert onto a serving dish so the fruit is on top. Serve hot with whipped cream or ice-cream, if desired.
