UPSIDE-DOWN BANANA TART RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375˚F (190˚C).
• Using an 8-inch (20-cm) round cake pan, cut a circle out from the puff pastry. Using a fork, poke holes all over the pastry to provide ventilation. Set aside.
• Cut the tops and bottoms off of the bananas, then halve 2 of the bananas crosswise and set aside.
• In a large saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter, then add the brown sugar and cook until fully incorporated and the sauce appears amber in color, about 5 minutes.
• Add the vanilla and cinnamon. Stir until combined.
• Add the bananas to the pan and cook until softened, about 2 minutes.
• Turn the bananas to fully coat them with the caramel, then remove from the pan. Reserve the caramel.
• Grease the cake pan. Arrange the bananas on the bottom of the pan. Pour over the caramel sauce.
• Cover the bananas with the circle of puff pastry and ensure the edges are tucked into the pan.
• Bake for 30 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden.
• Let cool at room temperature for at least 30 minutes before inverting onto a serving plate.
• Slice and serve with vanilla ice cream.
• Enjoy!
