- Baking tray (compatible with the stove) with a diameter of 26 cm

Preparation
- First, prepare the shortcrust pastry in the version without butter. Sift the white flour and collect it in a bowl. Dissolve a pinch of salt in a tablespoon of warm water.

Wrap the dough in a sheet of cling film and let it rest to make it more mouldable.
The original recipe
The classic version of the tarte tatin is prepared with a shortcrust pastry made with flour and butter: in this recipe we offer the lighter version, with oil and yogurt.
To speed up the time, you can use ready-made shortcrust pastry or puff pastry.- Prepare the caramelized base. In the pan intended to accommodate the tarte tatin - which must be compatible with the stove - pour the sugar and a knob of butter: cook, stirring occasionally, until a not too dark caramel sauce is obtained.
- Meanwhile, wash the apples, peel them and cut them into quarters. It is advisable to choose floury and ripe apples. Arrange the apples neatly on the caramelized base (which in the meantime will have become solid), taking care to turn the hollow part upwards.
Attention
For a beautiful result, fill all the empty spaces with apples: in fact, the fruit will lose volume during cooking, and small spaces will be created between one apple and the other.- Take back the shortcrust pastry, roll it out with a rolling pin and obtain a thin sheet, slightly larger than the size of the pan.
- Cover the apples with the sbrisè pastry, pushing the edges towards the base in order to fit the apples inside the dough.
- Bake at 180 ° C (mode: static) and bake for 40 minutes.
- Remove from the oven when the tarte tatin is still very hot: place a plate on top of the pan and, being careful not to burn yourself with the liquid, turn the cake upside down.
- Allow to cool and serve. The tarte tatin can be kept in the fridge for 2-3 days.
