What You Need

1/4 cup butter

1 pkg. (85 g) Jell-O Lemon Jelly Powder

1/2 tsp. ground cinnamon

7 Golden Delicious apples (2 lb./900 g), peeled, quartered

1 frozen 9-inch pie crust (1/2 of 340-g pkg.), thawed

1 cup thawed Cool Whip Whipped Topping

Make It

HEAT oven to 400°F.

MELT butter in 10-inch ovenproof nonstick skillet on medium heat. Add dry jelly powder and cinnamon; cook and stir 2 min. or until jelly powder is dissolved. Arrange single layer of apples in circular pattern on bottom of skillet. Top with any remaining apples.

COOK on medium-low heat 8 min. or until apples begin to soften and jelly powder mixture starts to thicken; cover with pie crust. Discard foil pan from crust.

BAKE 20 min. or until crust is golden and apples are tender. Cool 3 min. Using oven mitts, place large serving plate on top of skillet. Holding skillet and plate together, carefully turn skillet over; remove skillet. Cool tart slightly. Top each serving with 1-1/2 Tbsp. Cool Whip.

I didn't like the lemon jello on it.

Not good!!! The lemon jelly absolutely ruined what could have been a wonderful 'Tart Tatin'

Really loved this, made it for brunch this weekend. Next time will try with the caramel sauce! Didn't have lemon jello so used some peach & it was very tasty! I also used a Pillsbury refrigerated pie crust & recommend it -- no fuss, no muss! :)

Made the recipe but had smaller slices of apples and of course they cooked more quickly. Tasted just as scrumptious as I expected. the only other comment was that the crust did not cook well enough at the temp you suggested. Next time I will have the temp higher in the oven. Oh yes, it is very hard to get the crust out of its pan when it is thawed - easier while it is still frozen.
