The Simplest Apple Tart Recipe - Cooking Index
| 1 | Sheet frozen puff pastry - (9 oz) | |
| 2 | Tart apples | |
| 1/4 cup | 49g / 1.7oz | Sugar |
| 1 teaspoon | 5ml | Cinnamon |
| 1 tablespoon | 15ml | Chilled unsalted butter - cut tiny pieces |
| Vanilla ice cream - for serving |
Thaw puff pastry sheet 20 to 30 minutes. Heat the oven to 450 degrees. Set aside a large greased baking sheet.
On a floured surface, roll the puff pastry in a 13-inch square, as thin as possible, about 1/16-inch thick. Use a 6-inch plate to outline 4 circles on the pastry, then cut them out. Transfer them to the baking sheet in a single layer.
Peel, halve, core and thinly slice apples, keeping each sliced half intact. Arrange a tight circle of slices from each apple half on each pastry round. Combine the sugar and cinnamon in a small dish. Sprinkle 1 tablespoon of the mixture evenly over each tart. Dot each evenly with 3/4 teaspoon of butter. (This can be prepared up to 6 hours in advance and refrigerated or frozen up to 1 week, wrapped airtight.)
Bake the tarts until browned around the edges, about 15 to 18 minutes. Use a metal spatula to transfer them to dessert plates. Serve immediately with small scoops of ice cream placed in the center.
