This peach tarte tatin is an easy, delicious, one-pan dessert! As the peaches simmer in the butter and sugar over the stove, they absorb a delicious caramel sauce as well as release their juices, giving the sauce a hit of peach flavor.

Ingredients

  • ⅓ cupbrown sugar
  • 1 tablespoonbutter
  • ¼ cupdark rum
  • 1 tablespoonvanilla extract
  • ¼ teaspoonsalt
  • 4yellow peaches (halved, pitted and peeled)
  • 1sheet frozen puff pastry (thawed)

Directions

  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 375°F.

  2. 2

    Add brown sugar, butter, rum, vanilla and salt to a medium (8” to 9") cast iron skillet.

  3. 3

    Cook over medium heat, stirring often, until the mixture starts to thicken and darken (about 8 minutes). Be careful not to overcook or you can burn it.

  4. 4

    Lower heat to medium-low and add the peaches (cut side down) to the skillet. Use enough peach halves to fill up the bottom of the pan in one layer.

  5. 5

    Cook until slightly softened, about 5 minutes. Take the skillet off the heat.

  6. 6

    Unroll the puff pastry sheet. Cut out a circle that is about 9” in diameter or slightly wider than the width of the skillet.

  7. 7

    Place the puff pastry round on top of the peaches and tuck edges into the pan.

  8. 8

    Bake in the preheated oven until the pastry is golden and puffed, 35–40 minutes.

  9. 9

    Remove from oven and let cool on a wire rack for 30 minutes.

  10. 10

    To invert the Tarte Tatin onto a serving dish: run a butter knife along the edge of the pastry to separate it from the skillet. With oven mitts, hold the serving dish on top of the skillet and carefully flip it all over. It should release with a couple of gentle shakes.
