Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Puff pastry
- 4 Apples (Granny Smith or Honeycrisp)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Grand Marnier liqueur
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 3 tablespoons Apricot jam
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Toss the slices with lemon juice to prevent browning and set aside.
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to ensure it is slightly larger than its original size. Transfer it to the prepared baking sheet.
Using a sharp knife, carefully score a border around the edges of the puff pastry about 1 inch inward. Be careful not to cut all the way through.
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon together. Sprinkle 2 tablespoons of this mixture evenly over the puff pastry, leaving the border untouched.
Layer the apple slices neatly over the center of the puff pastry, overlapping slightly to create a fan-like pattern.
In a saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Stir in the Grand Marnier and vanilla extract, then brush this mixture generously over the apple slices.
Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the apples.
Bake the tarte in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the apple slices are tender and lightly caramelized.
In another small saucepan, heat the apricot jam with 1 teaspoon of water until it becomes a smooth glaze.
Remove the tarte from the oven and immediately brush the warm apricot glaze over the apples to give them a glossy finish.
Allow the tarte to cool for 10 minutes before slicing. Serve warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or dollop of whipped cream.
