Tarte Tatin
ACTIVE: 45 MIN TOTAL TIME: 2 HR 15 MIN SERVINGS: 8
INGREDIENTS
One 14-ounce package all-butter puff pastry
1 stick unsalted butter
3/4 cup sugar
12 Golden Delicious apples—peeled, halved lengthwise and cored
Crème fraiche, for serving
HOW TO MAKE THIS RECIPE
On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the puff pastry 1/8 inch thick. Cut out a 12-inch round, transfer to a baking sheet and refrigerate; reserve the pastry scraps for another use.
In a 10-inch cast-iron skillet, melt the butter. Add the sugar and cook over moderately low heat, stirring occasionally, until the sugar is dissolved and the mixture comes to a simmer, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat. Arrange the apple halves standing upright in the skillet in 2 snug concentric circles. Return to the heat and cook undisturbed until an amber caramel forms, about 30 minutes.
Preheat the oven to 375°. Top the apples with the puff pastry and bake for about 40 minutes, until the pastry is golden and the apples are tender. Let cool for 15 minutes.
Place a large plate on top of the skillet and carefully invert the tart. Serve warm with crème fraiche.
Finally doing this instead of work!!!

Fic for rabidsamfan: Potential for Friends
Dec. 14th, 2025 10:42 pmholmesticemods posting in holmesticeTitle: Potential for Friends
Recipient: Rabidsamfan
Author: REDACTED
Verse: Books: Doyle - Canon(Directly after A Study in Scarlet)
Characters/Pairings: Sherlock Holmes, John Watson, mentions of Jefferson Hope, Stamford, and Victor Trevor, no established relationships or pairings
Rating: T
Warnings: PTSD, drug usage(Smoking 'ship's'), verbal arguments, Nightmares
Summary: After A Study in Scarlet, Holmes observes Watson, and tries to reconcile with the fact that Watson may have just worked past his defenses… and just how he truly feels about this development of having a friend. And yet, after a fight, Holmes realizes just how much Watson carries-and why, to Holmes, having Watson around baffles him. But... maybe that's not a bad thing?

Recipient: DeeLaundry
Author: REDACTED
Verse: Sherlock & Co
Characters/Pairings: Sherlock Holmes/John Watson, Sherlock Holmes & Mycroft Holmes, Sherlock Holmes & John Watson, John Watson, Sherlock Holmes, Mycroft Holmes
Rating: Teen and up
Warnings: No archive warnings apply
Summary:
”You say that, mate, but you told me the other week that your brother may as well be the British Government sometimes, and that he’s always been overprotective of you.” John countered, “For all I know, I’ll stick my foot in it and next thing I end up ‘disappeared’!”
Sherlock’s eyebrow rose, but his exasperated face was undermined by the fond smile he was failing to hide.
-
A few months into their relationship - and since John discovered Sherlock had an older brother - the couple receive an invitation to join Mycroft Holmes for an afternoon tea. John is, predictably, anxious about making a good impression. But will he manage to do so with the mysterious elder Mr Holmes?
Holmestice gift for DeeLaundry - who asked about what this universe's version of Mycroft Holmes would be like. I hope I do him justice for you!
