Sour Cream Apple Tatin

First pour 1 cup of sugar and 1/3 cup water into a saucepan to boil until the temperature of 360 degrees has been reached.  The appearance should be brown and caramel in consistency and color.  Peel and core and slice about 3 Granny Smith apples into 12 sections and arrange on the bottom of a 9 inch buttered pie pan and pour the caramel over the apples

In a mixing bowl or mixer combine:

• 6 tbsp. softened unsalted butter
• 3/4 cup sugar
• 2 extra large room temperature eggs
• 1/2 cup sour cream
• 1 tsp. lemon zest
• 1 tsp. vanilla

Blend until smooth and then add following dry ingredients:

• 1 cup plus 2 tbsp. sifted white flour
• 1/2 tsp. baking powder
• 1/4 tsp. salt

Spread batter over the apples and caramel and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 to 40 min. or until done.  Invert on to a plate and allow to cool slightly and sprinkle with 10X sugar.  Delicious!

ENJOY!!
