Cannabis Tarte Tatin
Apples caramelized in butter and sugar, baked under a blanket of puff pastry, then inverted to reveal a burnished crown. Cannabis-infused butter in the caramel lends limonene's bright top notes to the deep toffee base.
Ingredients
- 6 Granny Smith apples, peeled, cored, quartered
- ½ cup sugar
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 1 tbsp cannabis-infused butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- Pinch of flaky sea salt
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
- Crème fraîche, for serving
How to make it
- 1
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- 2
Melt sugar in a 10-inch oven-safe skillet over medium heat until amber.
- 3
Stir in both butters, vanilla, and salt. Cook 1 minute.
- 4
Arrange apple quarters tightly in concentric circles on the caramel.
- 5
Cook on stovetop 8–10 minutes until apples soften slightly.
- 6
Drape puff pastry over apples, tucking edges down.
- 7
Bake 25–30 minutes until pastry is deeply golden.
- 8
Cool 5 minutes, then invert onto a serving plate. Serve with crème fraîche.
Cooking tips
- Use firm apples — soft ones dissolve into mush.
- The inversion is nerve-wracking. Commit and flip with confidence.
- A scoop of vanilla ice cream is never wrong here.

Why this pairing works
Limonene — in your strain and on your plate
The brightest terpene on our list, limonene is the citrus engine behind sativa-leaning, mood-elevating strains. It pairs naturally with bright, acidic dishes and works beautifully as a daytime, social terpene.
