Apple Tart Recipe
This simple apple tart is made quickly with a puff pastry and brushed with a sweet, sugary glaze for an easy, fall-flavored dessert.
Serving6 Servings
Ingredients
- 10 inch square puff pastry, partially thawed
- 1 Tablespoon sugar
- 2-3 Pink Lady or Gala apples, I used Pink Lady
- 1 Tablespoon butter (unsalted), melted
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup
- ¼ teaspoon vanilla bean paste
Equipment
- Peeler, optional
Instructions
Preheat the oven:
- Preheat your oven to 375℉.
- Place the baking tray into the oven.
Prepare the apple tart:
- Cut apple into thin slices (you can peel them if you do not like the texture). Not too thin because they will fall apart.
- Unfold the puff pastry. Sprinkle the sugar over the piece of baking paper and place the puff pastry sheet on top of the sugar.
- Fold over the edges of the puff pastry, creating a ¼-inch border.
- Arrange the apple slices in three rows, overlapping them slightly (see the picture for reference).
Prepare the butter:
- Whisk the butter with vanilla and maple syrup. Bush the apples with the prepared butter.
Bake:
- Bake the apple tart for 30 minutes. Remove the apple tart from the oven and cut into 6 slices. Serve.
Notes
- You can gently poke the puff pastry with a fork to prevent any puffing in areas where you do not want it to puff up too much.
- If you want a flavor more similar to apple pie, add cinnamon to the butter mixture, or sprinkle it on top of the apples before baking.
