Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry sheet
- 3 medium apples
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons honey or apricot jam
- 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Lightly dust your work surface with flour, then roll out the puff pastry sheet to about 10x12 inches. Transfer the pastry to the prepared baking sheet.
Using a paring knife, gently score a 1-inch border around the edges of the pastry, being careful not to cut through completely. Prick the center area inside the border with a fork to prevent it from puffing up too much.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Arrange the apple slices in overlapping rows within the scored border of the puff pastry.
In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the apples.
Dot the apples with small pieces of butter, distributing them evenly across the tart.
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the edges are golden brown and the apples are tender.
While the tart is baking, warm the honey or apricot jam in a small saucepan (or microwave it for a few seconds) until it becomes slightly runny.
When the tart comes out of the oven, lightly brush the apples with the warmed honey or jam to give them a glossy finish.
Allow the tart to cool slightly before slicing and serving warm or at room temperature.
