Mini Banana & Melted Caramel Tatins

### 3. **Assemble the Tatins**

* Pour about 1 tablespoon of the hot caramel into each muffin cup or ramekin.
* Place 2–3 banana slices on top of the caramel in each one.

### 4. **Top with Puff Pastry**

Cut the puff pastry into circles slightly larger than the muffin cups. Place one piece over each filled cup, gently tucking the edges inside.

### 5. **Bake**

Bake for **18–22 minutes**, or until the pastry is golden and puffed.

### 6. **Flip and Serve**

Allow to cool for 2–3 minutes. Then, carefully invert each tart onto a plate while still warm (use a knife to loosen edges if needed). The caramel will be gooey and golden — exactly what you want.
