Using the strip slicers, cut one apple into a thin, long strip.
Step 8
Shape the apple strip into a roll.

... and so on...
Step 13
... until you obtain a large apple roll.
Step 14
Carefully transfer the apple roll into the tarte tatin mould...
Step 15
... and place on the stove to cook the apples. Cook for a good 10 minutes over medium heat. The caramel shouldn't burn since the apples will release water during cooking.

In the meantime, roll out the hazelnut pastry with a rolling pin...
Step 17
... to a wider diameter than the mould (between 28 and 30 cm). Thickness should be about 3 or 4 mm.

Step 27
While the tart is till hot, carefully release from the mould onto a round baking sheet. Place the round baking sheet over the pastry and using a towel, flip the mould upside down quickly. Hot juice might leak out so make sure you don't get burnt.
Step 28
The mould should now be on top.
Step 29
Lift the mould carefully.
Step 30
The tarte tatin is ready. The olive oil used earlier ensures the apples are nice and glossy but you won't taste it at all. Tarte Tatin is delicious served cold or warm, with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or crème fraîche. Enjoy!
