Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Preheat the oven

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).

2
Prepare the bananas

Peel the bananas. Slice into 1/2-inch thick rounds. Toss gently with lemon juice to prevent browning.

3
Make the caramel base

In a 9-inch oven-safe skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add brown sugar and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat. Stir in cinnamon and vanilla extract.

4
Arrange the bananas

Arrange banana slices in a single layer over the caramel mixture. Pack them tightly as they will shrink during baking.

5
Prepare the pastry

If frozen, thaw according to package instructions. Roll out slightly if needed. Cut into a circle about 1 inch larger than the skillet.

6
Cover with pastry

Place the pastry circle over the bananas. Tuck the edges down into the sides of the skillet. Cut 3-4 small slits in the center to allow steam to escape.

7
Bake the tart

Place the skillet in the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.

8
Cool briefly

Remove from oven. Let cool for 5 minutes.

9
Invert the tart

Place a serving plate over the skillet. Carefully but quickly flip the skillet and plate together. Lift the skillet off, allowing any caramel to drip onto the tart.

10
Serve

Serve warm, either on its own or with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
