Puff Pastry Apple Tart Recipe

Incredibly easy to make, this tart uses store bought frozen puff pastry and fresh apples slices.

📝 Ingredients

• 1 sheet puff pastry
• 2 granny smith apples
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons (1 oz/30 grams) unsalted butter (melted)
• 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
• 1 tablespoon ground almonds
• 1 tablespoons apricot jam ((preserves))

👨‍🍳 Instructions

1. 1Preheat oven to 400ºF/200ºC
2. 2Remove puff pastry from the freezer and thaw according to package instructions.
3. 3In a medium bowl, combine sugar, cinnamon and half the butter.
4. 4Peel apples, cut in half and core. Slice apples and combine with the sugar mixture. Set aside while you prepare the pastry.
5. 5Cut through the puff pastry sheet, 1/2 inch (1.5cm) in from the edge all around but leaving two opposite corners uncut. Bring one edge over to the other side and repeat on the opposite side. Check the instruction photos above. This is optional but I like to make the edge thicker.
6. 6Brush all over with the remaining melted butter.
7. 7Sprinkle ground almonds evenly over the pastry avoiding the doubled edge.
8. 8Arrange apple slices neatly over the ground almonds.
9. 9Bake 30-35 minutes until golden brown and the pastry is puffed and crisp. Check underneath to see that the pastry has browned, if not bake for another 5-10 minutes but lower the oven temp to 350ºF/180ºC.
10. 10Remove tart from the oven. Heat apricot conserve in the microwave for 15-20 seconds or until melted (or in a small saucepan over gentle heat). Brush apples with melted conserve.
11. 11Transfer the tart to a wire rack to cool.
12. 12Divide into four portions and serve with ice cream or cream.
