Ingredients

1 cup
sugar
1/4 cup
apple juice
6 Tbsp.
butter
2 tsp.
vanilla extract
1/4 tsp.
salt
8
Gala apples
1
sheet frozen puff pastry

Directions

1. Step 1Preheat oven to 425 degrees F.
2. Step 2In 10- to 12-inch nonstick skillet on medium, cook sugar and apple juice 2 minutes or until sugar melts, stirring. Continue to cook, swirling pan occasionally (but not stirring), 6 to 8 minutes or until deep amber. Remove from heat. Add butter, a few pieces at a time, stirring just until melted; stir in vanilla and salt.
3. Step 3Arrange apple quarters in pan, round sides down, in 3 concentric circles. Simmer uncovered on medium-low 40 to 45 minutes or until almost tender, pressing down apples occasionally.
4. Step 4Transfer skillet to foil-lined rimmed baking sheet. Top with pastry, tucking in any overhangs. Bake 20 to 25 minutes (30 to 35 minutes if using homemade pastry) or until golden brown. Transfer to wire rack; cool 15 minutes. Wearing oven mitts, invert rimmed serving platter over skillet; carefully flip together. Remove pan. Serve warm.
