Ingredients
Scale
- 4 medium apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 1 cup chopped roasted hazelnuts
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3/4 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and heat an oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
- Peel, core, and slice the apples into wedges. Toss them with vanilla extract in a bowl and set aside.
- In the skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add sugar and stir until it turns a lovely amber color (approximately 5 minutes).
- Carefully arrange apple wedges in the caramel mixture and sprinkle chopped hazelnuts on top. Simmer for about 10 minutes until apples begin to soften.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface, then drape it over the apples in the skillet, tucking in the edges.
- Transfer to the preheated oven and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown.
- Allow to cool slightly before flipping onto a serving plate. Serve warm with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream if desired.
