The chasms are vertical splits in the cliffs where it just doensn't pay to step into them. The vertical rock in the sea is call a STACK. View towards NW and the English Lake District
1. Simple Tatin after Bocuse (Own variation on Bocuse recipe) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tarte Tatin (Simple upside down Caramelized Apple Tart after Bocuse - made with purchased pastry)
I use old Cox apples which are beginning to look like grandmother's face. The recipe states "sour-ish apples". Using shortcrust pastry from the supermarket, the variation on the original Bocuse recipe is:
INGREDIENTS:
1.5kg Apples 60-100gr Butter 120gr Sugar (more if sour apples)
1 sheet Puff pastry or 1 refrigerated pie crust pastry (thoroughly defrosted)
PREPARATION:
1. Skin the apples and de-core them
2. Put them into a fireproof round form with the butter and sugar 3. Turn them until covered with the butter/sugar mix 4. Let them cook for 5mins on MIDDLE heat
5. Roll out the pastry in the meantime and cover the form (cut off edges quickly before pastry goes limp)
6. Bake on a pre-heated oven at 200 deg for 20mins
7. Cool the tart on a wire rack.
8. Reverse and drop onto a serving plate whilst still warm
