Ingredients:
- 50g (1/4 cup) white sugar
- 50g (1/4 cup butter)
- 5 large desert apples
- 2 tbsp lemon juice
- 225g (8oz) readymade puff pastry

- Put the sugar and butter into the tatin dish. Heat on a medium heat until the butter has
melted - Peel, quarter and core the apples. Place in the dish, rounded side down to fill the base
- Sprinkle with the lemon juice. Cook over a medium heat for 5 minutes
- Remove from the heat and cool for a few minutes whilst rolling out the pastry
- Roll the pastry to a circle the same size as the top of the dish. Press it lightly over the fruit, tucking the edges down around the edge so that when cooked it forms a rim to contain the fruit
- Make four small steam holes
