Ingredients

  • 1. 2 sheets of puff pastry 2. 3 medium apples 3. 1/2 cup granulated sugar 4. 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon 5. 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted 6. 1 egg, lightly beaten 7. 1 tablespoon heavy cream 8. Confectioner's sugar for dusting (optional)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Unroll the puff pastry sheets and cut each into four equal squares. Place them on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
  3. Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. In a bowl, mix the granulated sugar and ground cinnamon. Toss the apple slices in the sugar cinnamon mixture to coat them evenly.
  4. Place a layer of apple slices on top of each puff pastry square, leaving a border around the edges.
  5. Drizzle the melted butter over the apples and fold up the borders of the puff pastry to enclose the apple filling. Brush the tops with the beaten egg and cream mixture for a golden finish.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for 20 25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown. Allow the tarts to cool slightly on the baking sheet before transferring them to a wire rack.
