Ingredients
Directions
8 STEPS
1
Preheat oven to 400°F.
2
In a large bowl, combine plums, 1/4 cup granulated sugar, lemon juice, lemon zest and vanilla extract. Let stand for 30 minutes.
3
Melt butter in a 9-inch ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Sprinkle remaining 1/2 cup granulated sugar evenly over melted butter.
4
Arrange plums, cut side up, in concentric circles in the skillet. Cook over medium heat until syrup turns deep red, about 20-30 minutes, occasionally shaking the pan slightly to prevent sticking.
5
Gently place the puff pastry sheet over the plums, pressing the edges down around plums. Cut several slits in puff pastry to allow steam to escape.
6
Bake until puff pastry is golden brown, about 30 minutes.
7
Allow the tart to cool completely in the skillet.
8
Invert tart onto a serving platter by placing it over the skillet and carefully flipping the skillet and platter together. Remove skillet slowly.
