How to Make Caramelized Peach Tatin

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a small saucepan, combine ½ cup granulated sugar, 2 tablespoons water, and 2 tablespoons light corn syrup. Bring to a simmer over moderate heat.
  3. Simmer without stirring until a rich amber caramel forms, about 6-8 minutes. Watch carefully to prevent burning.
  4. Carefully pour the caramel into an 8-inch ovenproof skillet, tilting to coat the bottom evenly.
  5. Arrange about 6-8 freestone peach halves, cut-side up, in the caramel.
  6. On a lightly floured surface, roll or unroll store-bought puff pastry (one 14.1 oz sheet) into a 9-inch circle.
  7. Gently drape the puff pastry over the peaches in the skillet.
  8. Bake for 28-32 minutes, or until the pastry is richly browned and puffed, and the peaches are tender.
  9. Remove from the oven and let stand for 5 minutes to allow the caramel to set slightly.
  10. Carefully invert the peach tart onto a serving plate or cake stand.
  11. Let cool slightly before cutting into wedges and serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream!
