Ingredients

For the puffing

- 200g of T55 flour

- 240g cold Charentes-Poitou AOP butter in pieces

- 15g of powdered sugar                 

- 3g of salt

- 90g of water   

For the caramelized apples     

- 200g of sugar

- 50g of water

- 5 golden apples

For the caramel cream sauce

- 120g caster sugar

- 50g of liquid cream         

- 2g of fleur de sel              

- 80g Charente Poitou PDO butter  

- Start with the puff pastry.

Mix together the flour, the butter in pieces, the sugar and the salt.

Add the water and make a dough making sure to leave small pieces of butter.

- Leave to cool for 1 hour.

- After an hour, roll out a rectangle and fold it in three to obtain 3 successive layers of dough.

Spread again then repeat the operation 5 times to obtain 5 simple turns.

Roll out to 5mm thickness. 

- For the caramelized apples, make a golden caramel by mixing the water and the sugar over the heat.

Once the caramel is ready, pour it into the bottom of a springform pan.

Peel the apples and cut into 4, before placing them in a rosette on the caramel.

- Cover with a round of puff pastry and bake at 180 degrees for 50 minutes.

- Prepare your creamed caramel: by making a dry caramel with the sugar.

When the caramel browns, add the lukewarm liquid cream, then the butter and salt to stop the cooking.

Leave to cool.

- Once your tart is ready, unmold, decorate with hazelnuts and serve with the creamed caramel.
