Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 sheet Frozen puff pastry
- 3 medium Granny Smith apples
- 3 tablespoons Granulated sugar
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground cinnamon
- 2 tablespoons Apricot preserves
- 1 teaspoon Water
- 1 tablespoon All-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your 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 to approximately 10x14 inches. Transfer the pastry to the prepared baking sheet.
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples into approximately 1/8-inch slices.
Arrange the apple slices in overlapping rows over the puff pastry, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
Sprinkle the granulated sugar evenly over the apples. Then, dot the apples with small pieces of the unsalted butter.
Lightly dust the apples with ground cinnamon for added flavor.
Fold the edges of the puff pastry inward to create a small border around the tart.
Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, or until the apples are tender and lightly caramelized, and the puff pastry is golden brown.
While the tart is baking, warm the apricot preserves and water in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir until smooth and slightly thinned out.
Once the tart is finished baking, remove it from the oven and immediately brush the warm apricot glaze over the apples and pastry edges for a lovely shine.
Allow the tart to cool for at least 10 minutes before slicing and serving. Enjoy it warm or at room temperature.
