Instructions

1.Preheat your oven to 355°F (180°C).
2.Butter and flour a 10 inch (26 cm) tart pan.
3.Roll out the ready-made pie crust on a floured surface and gently line the tart pan with it. Press the crust gently against the sides of the pan.
4.Peel and core the apples and slice them into thin pieces. Squeeze lemon juice over the slices to prevent them from browning.
5.In a large pan, melt 3-4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
6.Add superfine sugar and stir with a whisk until the mixture turns light brown. Be careful because this process can quickly turn from caramel to burnt sugar.
7.When the caramel is ready, add the apple slices and stir well until they are well coated in the caramel.
8.Pour the coated apples into the prepared pie crust, smoothing the surface with a spatula.
9.In a small saucepan, mix the granulated sugar and cold water together. Place the saucepan over medium-high heat and stir gently until the sugar dissolves.
10.Without stirring, let the mixture boil until it turns into caramel.
11.Once the caramel is a dark golden brown, remove the pan from heat and add the heavy cream.
12.Stir well until the caramel and cream are well combined.
13.Bake the tart in the oven for about 45 minutes or until the crust and the apples are golden brown.
14.Remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
15.Drizzle the caramel sauce over the tart, cooled to room temperature, and serve.
