Instructions
Step 1
Preheat oven to 350–375°F (or per puff pastry package).
Step 2
Defrost puff pastry as instructed.
Step 3
Peel and cut apples into quarters or eighths; toss with yuzu juice to coat.
Step 4
Crush cardamom seeds (from 6–8 pods) and mix into apples.
Step 5
In a skillet, melt 1 tbsp butter and lightly cook apples for 5–8 minutes to release moisture—do not overcook. Set aside.
Step 6
Roll out puff pastry and cut a circle to fit your skillet; chill until needed.
Step 7
In the same skillet, combine sugar and water over medium heat. Stir until bubbling, then stop stirring and cook until amber caramel forms.
Step 8
Add 4 tbsp butter (careful—it will bubble) and stir to combine.
Step 9
Arrange apples in the skillet over the caramel, covering the bottom completely.
Step 10
Top with puff pastry, tucking in the edges.
Step 11
Bake for 30–45 minutes until pastry is golden.
Step 12
Invert onto a plate while warm and serve with crème fraîche or ice cream.
