    Cover the apples with dough. Fold the edges of the dough inward to form mini sides when turning. Make a small cut in the center of the dough to allow steam to escape. Bake the tarte tatin for about 30 minutes in an oven preheated to 180°C. The dough should be evenly golden.

The pie is very tasty! Relatives rated it 5! Tender, melting in your mouth, moderately sweet, with a juicy filling! Magnificent! I made tarte tatin with apples - a classic French pie for the first time. I kneaded the dough and left it in the refrigerator for half an hour. She peeled and cut the apples into slices and made the caramel. I immediately poured it, hot, into a greased form, put the apples there, and covered the apples with dough on top. I tucked the edges of the dough inward to create sides when turning the tart over. I made a small hole in the middle for steam to escape. I baked it in the oven for 40 minutes at 220°, focusing on the capabilities of my oven. The dough was well browned and the aroma was extraordinary! Taking the pie out of the oven, I waited for it to cool. Then I turned the tart over onto a cutting board so that the filling was on top. My first tart baking experience was very successful! And all thanks to the recipe! I advise everyone to try this wonderful pie. Thank you so much!

I'm glad that the bottom didn't burn! I made the recipe for the second time. The first time I didn’t follow up enough, and my pie was burnt (but it was my own fault). The second time everything is much better! Sprinkled with powdered sugar for added beauty.
