6. Prepare the Orange Glaze:
While the tart is baking, combine the orange zest and the remaining orange juice in a small bowl. This will be used for a fresh glaze to drizzle over the tart once it’s out of the oven.
7. Flip the Tarte Tatin:
Once the pastry is golden and puffed, remove the skillet from the oven and let it cool for about 5-10 minutes.
To flip the Tarte Tatin, carefully run a spatula around the edges of the pastry to loosen it. Place a large plate or platter over the skillet, then flip it quickly and confidently. Be sure to use oven mitts as the skillet will still be hot.
Once flipped, drizzle the orange glaze over the figs and caramel to enhance the citrusy sweetness.
8. Serve:
Let the tart cool slightly before slicing and serving. It’s best served warm with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a decadent treat.
