Tarte Tatin

On a lightly floured surface, roll out to an 11-inch circle: 9 to 10 ounces Tart and Pie Dough (page 174) or puff pastry.

Brush off any excess flour, transfer the dough circle to a parchment-paper-lined baking sheet, and refrigerate until needed.

Quarter, peel, and core: 3 to 4 pounds apples (Granny Smith, Golden Delicious, or another variety that holds its shape when cooked).
