Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 Puff pastry sheet
- 4 medium Apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 100 grams Granulated sugar
- 50 grams Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground cinnamon
- 0.5 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 1 tablespoon Powdered sugar (for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples into 1/4-inch thick slices. Toss them in a bowl with lemon juice, ground cinnamon, and vanilla extract to prevent browning and infuse flavor.
Lightly flour your work surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet into a rectangle or circle, depending on your preference, about 1/8-inch thick. Transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
Using a sharp knife, lightly score a border about 1/2 inch from the edge of the pastry, being careful not to cut through the dough. This will create a raised edge during baking.
Arrange the apple slices in overlapping rows or a spiral pattern within the scored border for a decorative effect.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter and stir in the granulated sugar. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the mixture turns golden brown, creating a caramel sauce. Drizzle the caramel evenly over the apples.
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the edges of the pastry are puffed and golden, and the apples are tender and caramelized.
Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for 10-15 minutes. Dust with powdered sugar for a finishing touch before slicing and serving.
Serve the tart warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
