Shilajit, this precious resin from the Himalayan mountains, brings not only its energizing and revitalizing properties, but also a depth of flavor that pairs wonderfully with caramel and apples. It's a dessert that will delight you while taking care of you.

Ingredients

Serves 6:

• 6 apples (Reinette or Golden type)
• 150g of sugar
• 80g of salted butter
• 1 teaspoon of shilajit (resin)
• 1 roll of all-butter puff pastry
• 1 lemon (juice)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 180°C (thermostat 6).
2. Peel , core and quarter the apples. Sprinkle them with lemon juice to prevent them from browning.
3. In a heavy-bottomed pan, melt the butter and sugar over medium heat. Let it caramelize without stirring until it reaches a beautiful amber color.
4. Add the shilajit resin to the caramel and mix gently to incorporate it well.
5. Arrange the apple wedges in the pan, packing them tightly. Cook over low heat for about 20 minutes, until the apples are tender and lightly caramelized.
6. Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured work surface. Cut out a circle slightly larger than the diameter of the pan.
7. Cover the apples with the puff pastry, tucking the edges inside the pan.
8. Bake for 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown.
9. Remove the pie from the oven and let it cool for a few minutes.
10. Carefully turn the tart out onto a serving plate. Serve warm, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or thick whipped cream.

Chef's Tips

For an even more indulgent tart, you can add a pinch of fleur de sel to the caramel before baking.

Feel free to experiment with different apple varieties to vary the flavors. A touch of cinnamon or vanilla can also enhance this recipe.
