Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet store-bought puff pastry
- 2 medium apples (e.g., Honeycrisp or Granny Smith)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- 0.25 cups caramel sauce
- 1 tablespoons all-purpose flour (for dusting)
- 1 egg
- 1 tablespoons water
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the puff pastry sheet if it isn't already pre-rolled. Place the pastry on the prepared baking sheet.
Using a sharp knife, score a 1-inch border around the edges of the puff pastry without cutting through the dough. This will create a raised crust. Prick the center of the pastry all over with a fork to prevent it from puffing up too much.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples into 1/8-inch slices. Arrange the apple slices in overlapping rows within the scored border of the puff pastry.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Stir in the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon, then drizzle the mixture evenly over the apples.
In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water to create an egg wash. Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash for a golden crust.
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Remove the tart from the oven and allow it to cool for about 5 minutes. Drizzle the caramel sauce generously over the apples.
Slice the tart into portions and serve warm. Optionally, serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra decadent treat.
