Upside-Down Apricot Tart

A lovely dessert where half of the work is provided for you. That’s right, we’re utilizing store-bought puff pastry. This tart can be made in a cake pan or cast-iron or other ovenproof frying pan. While this is implied to be versatile, it is essential that the pastry on the top be bigger than the area of the pan you’re utilizing (you’ll be tucking it into the pan), as the pastry will diminish significantly when baked. This is the dessert grand ending from Alison Roman’s “Steak Home Night in America” menu, along with: Martini Bar, Low-and-Slow Rib Roast, Baked Potatoes Deluxe, and The Best Creamed Greens.
