I used ready made pastry, however there are lots of good puff pastry recipies out there for you to use!

Heat the oven to 220°C/500F (gas mark 9).

Sprinkle the sugar in a heavy-bottomed pan and place over a medium heat on the hob, stirring the sugar frequently and making sure it doesn't burn.

Allow the sugar to caramelise a little and become a golden brown colour, then remove from the heat and arrange the drained apple pieces in one layer over the sugar

Sprinkle on a little extra sugar on top of the assembled apples to give the tart an extra bit of flavour. Then place in the oven and cook for about 25 minutes.

Take a serving dish that is larger than the pan on all sides and place over the top. Protecting your hands with a tea-towel, and, holding the dish and pan firmly together, quickly but carefully flip the pan and the dish.

Tap the bottom of the pan sharply a few times all round with a wooden spoon, then lift off. The tart should be left on the serving dish with the apple on top.

Serve with cream or vanilla ice cream.
