I saw one of the new viral TikTok recipes on social media and thought it would be perfect for Mother’s Day brunch! TikTok Upside Down Apple Tarts are quick, easy, elegant AND delicious!
Viral TikTok Upside Down Apple Tarts Recipe
When I saw other bloggers making this, I thought to myself, this is SOOO Easy BUT does it taste good? I tried the viral cottage cheese ice cream and that was an epic fail so I was a bit skeptical about the upside down tarts.
Well…let me tell you…these are DELICIOUS! Flaky pastry with tender apples and carmelized honey dusted with cinnamon – it’s fantastic!
The beauty of this dessert is the puff pastry. You really can’t screw up puff pastry. It makes you look like a pro, even when you’re not!
I chose to use apples for this dish (because that is what I had in the refrigerator) but any stone fruit would be great too! Plums, peaches, and nectarines would all be great options! I would also like to try fresh pineapple!
So let’s make these viral TikTok Upside Down Apple Tarts!
