Yield 8 , 8 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
6 tablespoons chilled unsalted butter, cut into 1/2-inch cubes
1/4 cup creme fraiche or 1/4 cup sour cream
3 cups refrigerated pure pomegranate juice
1/4 cup unsalted butter, room temperature
3/4 cup sugar
7 medium golden delicious apples, peeled, quartered, cored (about 3 1/4 pounds)
1/8 teaspoon ground allspice
1 pinch of coarse kosher salt
vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Crust:.
  • Blend first 3 ingredients in processor 5 seconds.
  • Add chilled butter and blend until coarse meal forms; add creme fraiche.
  • Blend, using on/off turns, until moist clumps form.
  • Gather dough into ball; flatten into disk.
  • Wrap; chill 1 hour.
  • Roll dough out on lightly floured surface to 11-inch-diameter round.
  • Slide onto rimless baking sheet, cover, and chill until ready to use, up to 1 day.
  • Filling:
  • Boil pomegranate juice in heavy large saucepan until reduced to scant 1 cup syrup, about 15 minutes.
  • DO AHEAD: Pomegranate syrup can be made 1 day ahead. Cover; chill.
  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 400°F
  • Spread room-temperature butter evenly over bottom and up sides of heavy medium oven-proof skillet (10 inches across top; 8 inches across bottom; 21/4 inches deep).
  • Sprinkle sugar evenly over butter.
  • Cook over medium heat without stirring until mixture bubbles all over, about 3 minutes.
  • Remove from heat.
  • Stand apple quarters on 1 end around edge of skillet, leaning 1 cut edge against pan side and fitting snugly.
  • Stand as many apples in center as will fit.
  • Sprinkle apples with allspice and salt.
  • Cook apples over medium-high heat without stirring until thick, deep-amber syrup bubbles up, adding any remaining apples as space permits (apples will shrink as they cook), about 20 minutes.
  • Pour 1/4 cup pomegranate syrup over (mixture will bubble).
  • Cook until juices thicken again, 4 to 5 minutes (syrup will be deep amber).
  • Remove from heat.
  • Using spatula, press apples gently toward center, then down to compact.
  • Slide crust over apples.
  • Press crust down around apples at edge of skillet.
  • Cut 4 slits in top for steam to escape.
  • Bake tart until crust is brown and juices at edge are thick and dark scarlet in color, 25 to 30 minutes.
  • Remove skillet from oven; let stand 1 minute.
  • Place large plate over skillet.
  • Using oven mitts and holding plate and skillet firmly together, invert tart onto plate.
  • Carefully lift off skillet.
  • Return any apples to tart that may be stuck in skillet.
  • Let cool at least 15 minutes.
  • Serve tarte Tatin warm or at room temperature with vanilla ice cream and drizzle of remaining pomegranate syrup.
