8 slice thin-sliced firm white bread

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven to 375°F. Lightly coat a 9-inch round cake pan with cooking
spray.

2. In heavy skillet, over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in sugar and cook
over medium heat, without stirring, about 5 to 7 minutes, until sugar
caramelizes. Add orange juice carefully; the mixture will sputter.

3. Peel, halve and core apples; cut each half into 3 wedges. Add apple
wedges to skillet, cover and cook about 4 to 5 minutes, until juices are
released. Increase heat to high, uncover and cook about 2 to 4 minutes,
until juices have been reduced to a thick glaze. Remove from heat. Push
apples to one side of skillet. Spoon out as much caramel as possible from
skillet into prepared cake pan. Set apple wedges, rounded sides down, in
circular pattern into the caramel.

4. Trim crusts from bread; cut each slice diagonally into 2 triangles.
Arrange triangles over apples to form a single layer, cutting small pieces
of bread as necessary to fill in gaps. In small bowl, stir together cider,
oil and melted butter; brush lightly over bread.

5. Bake 25 minutes, until bread is crisp and golden brown. Cool tart in pan
on wire rack about 10 minutes. Set a serving plate on top of tart and
quickly invert. Reposition any apple pieces that stick to pan; drizzle any
excess caramel over top. Serve warm.
