Deliciously caramelized apple tarte tatin! Perfect for family dinner to impress someone with some out of the world vegan dessert!
I love apples and I tend to overbuy them thinking I am going to make a lot homemade apple juice, apple butter, or fried apples. Of course, I always end up eating them for a snack, barely make any juice, and always find an excuse not fry them because I don’t particularly care for the peeling and slicing part.
The farmer’s market sometimes offers the best bargains on apples, last month I ended up with over 10 pounds of honey crisp. They were the perfect candidate for juices and apple butter and tartes.
For the apple butter, I use an electric peeler and slicer. ( I finally bought one! ). I added everything to the slow cooker with cinnamon sticks and cloves, let it cook overnight, and wake up to a delicious smelling house and warm apple butter! YUM! I baked some fresh bread loaves just for the occasion.
I decided to make apple tarte tatin with some the left over.
This golden vegan dessert is a must try at least once in a lifetime! It is that good! I made 4 of them, just freeze them for later use. You never know when the sweet tooth will call!
I used whatever apple I had left for some good old fried apple. Just peel and slice them, sprinkled with brown sugar or use maple syrup, add some cinnamon powder, and lemon juice. I sometimes add some apple cider to balance the sweetness from the apples. Let that simmer until soft. Serve as a side dinner or dessert with ice cream! EASY PEACHY! YUM!
