# Ingredients You’ll Need:
→ Produce
01 -
2 large apples, peeled, cored, and quartered
02 -
1 cup dried figs, halved
→ Dairy
03 -
8 ounces Brie cheese, rind removed, sliced
04 -
3 tablespoons butter, softened
→ Baking
05 -
3/4 cup granulated sugar
06 -
1 sheet refrigerated pie crust
# How to Make It:
01 -
Preheat oven to 425°F. Generously spread softened butter over the bottom of a small cast-iron skillet or a 1-quart shallow baking dish, ensuring full coverage. Evenly distribute granulated sugar over the buttered surface.
02 -
Arrange apple quarters, rounded side down, in a circular pattern on top of the sugar. Nest dried fig halves in the gaps around the apples for even distribution.
03 -
Place the skillet over medium heat. Cook until the sugar melts and turns golden and the apples soften slightly, about 10 to 12 minutes. Remove from heat once caramelization is achieved.
04 -
Layer sliced Brie evenly over the caramelized fruit mixture, ensuring coverage without overlap.
05 -
Unroll the refrigerated pie crust and carefully drape it over the cheese-topped fruit. Tuck or trim excess crust as needed. Bake in preheated oven for 30 to 45 minutes, until the crust is golden brown and crisp.
06 -
Allow the tart to cool for 5 minutes before inverting onto a serving platter. Serve warm for optimal flavor and texture.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
For enhanced caramelization, rotate the skillet occasionally to ensure even heat distribution.
