Instructions:

  1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (390°F) and line a baking tray with parchment paper to prevent the tart from sticking.

  2. Prepare the apples:
    Wash the apple, remove the core, and slice it thinly. You can peel the apple if you prefer, but the skin adds texture and flavor. Set aside the sliced apples.

  3. Make the sugar-cinnamon mixture:
    In a small bowl, combine the cinnamon powder and brown sugar. Stir well to evenly mix the spices and sweetener. Set the mixture aside for later use.

  4. Prepare the puff pastry:
    Unroll the puff pastry sheet on a clean surface. Cut it into two equal halves, giving you two tart bases. You can also trim the edges if you want a more polished look.

  5. Shape the tart:
    Gently fold the edges of each pastry sheet about 1/4 inch inward to form a rustic border. This will help contain the apple filling and give the tart a beautiful edge. If desired, trim off any excess pastry.

  6. Assemble the tart:
    Place the prepared pastry sheets onto the lined baking tray. Arrange the sliced apples in the center of each tart, leaving a border. Sprinkle the cinnamon-sugar mixture evenly over the apples to coat them lightly.

  7. Bake the tart:
    Place the baking tray in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes, or until the puff pastry has puffed up and is golden and crispy on all sides. The apples should be tender and slightly caramelized by the time the tart is done.

  8. Serve:
    Remove the Apple Tart with Puff Pastry from the oven and let it cool slightly. Serve warm, ideally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream for an extra indulgence.


Tips for a Perfect Apple Tart:

  • Apple Variety: Choose a tart variety of apple like Granny Smith for a slight tanginess, or a sweeter variety like Gala for a milder flavor.
  • Cinnamon: Feel free to adjust the amount of cinnamon to suit your taste. You can even add a dash of nutmeg or cloves for extra spice.
  • Puff Pastry: Using store-bought puff pastry saves time, but if you’re feeling adventurous, you can make your own puff pastry from scratch.
  • Serving Suggestions: This tart pairs beautifully with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a drizzle of caramel sauce for a decadent finish.

This Apple Tart with Puff Pastry is a quick and satisfying dessert that combines the flakiness of the puff pastry with the sweet, spiced apples. It’s perfect for those who want to impress guests without spending hours in the kitchen. Enjoy!
