Embark on a culinary journey with this exquisite Apple and Truffle Goat Cheese Tarte Tatin, where the elegance of French cuisine is beautifully showcased. This dish combines the classic caramelized apple delight with the delightful twist of truffle goat cheese, achieving an impressive balance of sweet and savory flavors.

What you have

• Apples, 3 medium-sized
• Truffle goat cheese, 150g
• Pie crust, 1

Method

1. Step 1: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Peel, core, and slice the apples into even wedges. In a heavy ovenproof skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
2. Step 2: Sprinkle the sugar evenly over the butter. Arrange the apple wedges in the skillet, ensuring a packed, neat circle. Drizzle with lemon juice and scatter fresh thyme over the top.
3. Step 3: Cook the apples for about 15 minutes until they are caramelized, gently turning once for even coloring. Remove from heat.
4. Step 4: Crumble the truffle goat cheese evenly over the caramelized apples.
5. Step 5: Drape the pie crust over the apples and cheese, tucking in the edges around the fruit. Place the skillet in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown.
6. Step 6: Let the tarte cool in the skillet for a few minutes before carefully inverting onto a serving platter. Serve warm, cut into wedges.
