What is an upside-down pastry?
This clever baking hack went viral as a TikTok video in 2023: an easy way to create a caramelized fruit tart using frozen puff pastry! The fruit topping is layered on the pan first, then topped with dough, which allows the fruit to caramelize as it cooks.
Now, instead of going to a fancy bakery to buy an upside-down puff pastry, you can create this impressive treat right at home using Pillsbury™ biscuits. Serve it for breakfast or brunch, or top it with whipped cream or ice cream for a fun family dessert.
