Ingredients
Apple Tarts
  • 2 sheets puff pastry, thawed
  • 2 large apples, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 2 TBSP butter, softened
  • Raw sugar, for sprinkling
  • 2 TBSP apricot jam + pinch of water, optional
Toppings, optional
  • Vanilla ice cream
  • Caramel sauce
  • Powdered Sugar
Instructions
  1. Preheat oven to 400 degrees and line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. Unfold puff pastry and cut into squares. Arrange 4 squares on each tray.
  3. Using a sharp knife, score the edges of each puff pastry square about 1/2” from the edge (basically you’re making a square inside so that the edges will puff properly as it bakes. Make sure not to cut all the way through the pastry).
  4. Spread a little butter on each square.
  5. Mix cinnamon and sugar together. Sprinkle about 1 TBSP over each square.
  6. Arrange apple slices on top of the sugar.
  7. If desired, sprinkle each with a bit of raw sugar.
  8. Bake for 18-20 minutes, or until golden brown.
  9. Optional apricot glaze: warm the jam and water in the microwave until the jam is warm and loose (about 10-15 seconds). Brush the apples and pastry with the jam to give it a nice shine.
  10. If desired, top with ice cream and caramel sauce. Or, top with powdered sugar.
