1/2 tsp vanilla extract

Recipe developed by Recettes d’ici.

Preparation

  1. Preheat oven broiler.
  2. Melt together the organic butter, vanilla and brown sugar in a skillet on high. Heat until the mixture is a golden caramel colour.
  3. Add the lemon juice to stop the caramel from overheating, then cook for another 15 to 20 seconds.
  4. Add the apple slices and let them fully caramelize. Flip them as they cook so that they are golden brown on both sides.
  5. U5. Once they are caramelized, spread them out in the baked tart shells. Top each tart with the organic cheddar cheese and broil them for 1 to 2 minutes.
  6. Serve right away with the remaining caramel.

Suggestion

  • Serve with a good vanilla ice cream.
  • The apples can be replaced with peaches.
  • Using a baking apple (such as Lobo, Spartan, or Empire) will produce a tart with firmer pieces of fruit. These apples also don’t go brown as quickly.
