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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
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.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Arrange the slices in overlapping rows within the scored border of the puff pastry.
Step 5
In a small bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Sprinkle this mixture evenly over the sliced apples.
Step 6
Brush the melted butter over the apples and the exposed edges of the puff pastry.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
Remove the tart from the oven and let it cool for 5-10 minutes. Optionally, dust with powdered sugar before serving.
Step 9
Slice into pieces and enjoy! This tart pairs wonderfully with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream.
