DIRECTIONS

1. Preheat oven to moderate – 200c.
2. Cut pastry to size of baking pan or dish.
3. Melt butter in a non stick pan. Add sugar and cook over a medium heat until the mixture is a caramel colour and the sugar has dissolved. Careful not to burn it. Remove from heat.
4. Mix in brandy or liqueur (careful, it may sizzle and spit). Pour into baking dish. Put the fruit pieces in the dish, cut (flat) side down.
5. Place pastry over top of fruit and tuck in the sides.
6. Bake for 20 mins or until pastry has risen and is golden and crispy.
7. Carefully invert the tarte Tatin onto a plate (fruit side up, with the pastry on the bottom). Serve immediately with a dollop of cream or ice cream, sprinkled with toasted almond flakes.
