Apple Puff Pastry Tart
This is the one easy and flexible dessert recipe you must have! You can defrost the pastry while you're prepping dinner, then right before you sit down to eat, peel and slice your fruit, assemble the tart, and pop it in the oven to cook while you're eating dinner. Soon your house will be filled with the delicious smell of a fresh baked dessert.
Ingredients
- 3 large apples (or any fresh fruit on hand) peeled, cored, and thinly sliced. I like granny smith or honey crisp.
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry thawed
- 1 egg beaten
- 1/4 cup firmly packed brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
- 1/2 tsp ground ginger
- vanilla ice-cream
Instructions
- Preheat Oven to 400Unfold the pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. Roll the pastry sheet into a 12-inch square. Place the pastry sheet onto a baking sheet. I use a silpat or baking mat under mine. Brush the edges of the pastry with water. Fold over the edges 1/2 inch on all sides, crimping with your fingers to form a rim. Prick the center of the pastry thoroughly with a fork. Brush the pastry edges with the egg.
- Arrange the apple slices on the pastry, overlapping slightly. Stir the brown sugar, ginger, and cinnamon in a small bowl. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the apples.
- Bake for 25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. Let the pastry cool on the baking sheet on a wire rack for 5 minutes. Serve warm with ice cream.
