Granny Smith apples

The upside-down apple tart that was supposedly invented by accident. The caramel is the whole point. Use a proper ovenproof skillet.

Comice pears instead of apples. More delicate, less acidic, pairs beautifully with blue cheese cream or Roquefort.

Roasted cherry tomatoes in a thyme and balsamic caramel. Gruyere in the pastry. Not dessert.
