Weight Watchers Style Tarte Tatin Recipe

Prepare the dough. Put 80 grams of flour and salt in the bowl of a mixer. Incorporate the soft cheese in a few short bursts, then add the margarine or butter (very cold) cut into pieces. Mix in short bursts. Stop when the pieces are well reduced but still visible. Wrap in plastic wrap and set aside in the fridge for at least 1 hour.

Peel the apples, cut them in half, and scoop out the center with a spoon. Preheat the oven to 225°C (425°F). Sprinkle a small oven dish about 18 to 20 cm in diameter made of glass or ceramic with half of the sugar. Arrange the apple halves across the surface of the dish without overlapping, with the rounded side against the dish. Pack them tightly.

Sprinkle with the remaining sugar, drizzle with 4 tablespoons of water, and scatter with pieces of butter. Bake in the oven for about 20 minutes. Check that there is some cooking juice left at the end of cooking; if not, add a little water. Roll out the dough into a disk slightly larger than the dish. Cover the apples by sliding the dough between the apples and the edges. Pierce and return to the oven for about 20 minutes at 200°C.

Check that the apples are lightly caramelized. Run a knife along the inner edge of the dish and flip the tart onto a plate. Serve immediately.

To finish, you may serve with low-fat yogurt (to account for). Or for those who are not afraid of adding to their curves, they might indulge in a scoop of vanilla or salted caramel ice cream.
