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

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. Toss the slices with lemon juice to prevent browning and set aside.

Step 3

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.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

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.

Step 6

Layer the apple slices neatly over the center of the puff pastry, overlapping slightly to create a fan-like pattern.

Step 7

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.

Step 8

Sprinkle the remaining tablespoon of the cinnamon-sugar mixture over the apples.

Step 9

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.

Step 10

In another small saucepan, heat the apricot jam with 1 teaspoon of water until it becomes a smooth glaze.

Step 11

Remove the tarte from the oven and immediately brush the warm apricot glaze over the apples to give them a glossy finish.

Step 12

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.
