Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet (store-bought, thawed) Puff pastry
- 3 medium (e.g., Granny Smith or Honeycrisp) Apples
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons (melted) Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon (for dusting) All-purpose flour
- 1 tablespoon (optional, for garnish) Powdered sugar
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust a clean surface with the all-purpose flour, and roll out the puff pastry sheet to smooth out any creases. Transfer the pastry to the prepared baking sheet.
Using a small knife, lightly score a border around the puff pastry, about 1 inch from the edges. Be careful not to cut all the way through. This will help create a raised crust when baked.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Arrange the slices in overlapping rows within the scored border of the puff pastry.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the sliced apples.
Brush the melted butter over the apples and the exposed edges of the puff pastry.
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, and the apple slices are tender.
Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Slice into pieces and enjoy! This tart pairs wonderfully with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
