Tip

Before turning the tart over, you can remove some of the liquid by making a small opening in the side of the pastry to remove the excess.

Preparation steps

Step 1
In a frying pan or saucepan, heat the brown sugar mixed with the 60 millilitres of water.
Meanwhile, peel and cut apples into small quarters.
Set aside.
Step 2
After about 8 to 10 minutes, when the caramel coats the spoon well, pour it into the pie dish.
Step 3
Place the apples on the caramel, starting from the center and working outwards.
Sprinkle with vanilla sugar.
Step 4
Cover with the puff pastry and, using a kitchen brush, brush the pastry with the egg yolk.
