Banana Tarte Tatin

I saved the sad looking, brown spotted bananas in my fruit bowl, and made a banana tarte tatin.Tarte tatin is one fancy shmancy looking dessert, but it's one of the simplest things you can make. With very few ingredients you can bake up a delicious and impressive looking dessert.  Bananas and caramel just go together really well, just think bananas foster.  I must warn you, once you bite into a piece, you will find yourself reaching for another.


3⁄4 cup granulated sugar
4 tbsp. butter
1 tbsp. orange zest
1⁄4 tsp. ground cinnamon
4-5 large firm-ripe bananas, halved lengthwise
1 package  puff pastry, thawed
Vanilla ice cream, for serving

1. Preheat oven to 220// 425°.
2. Cook sugar and butter in a small sauté pan over medium heat, swirling
skillet often, until mixture is deep golden brown, 8–10 minutes. (do not stir or
sugar will crystalize)
3. Remove from heat and stir in orange zest and cinnamon; pour caramel
mixture into a small glass or ceramic baking dish and spread to cover the
bottom.
4. Lay bananas cut side up over the caramel, cutting pieces as needed to fit in
the baking dish.
5. Lay puff pastry over banana mixture.
6.Poke tiny holes in the puff pastry with a toothpick or fork to prevent over rising. Bake until
pastry is puffed and golden brown and caramel is bubbling around the edges of
the dish, about 30 minutes.
7. Remove from the oven, let cool for 5 minutes. .
8. Place platter on top of baking dish and quickly invert, allowing tart to fall
onto dish. Cut and serve with vanilla ice cream.


***you can use a round dish or square, I do a round one, because the puff pastry I buy, is already cut round.
