Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 475°F or 240°C.
- Dust a flat surface with flour and roll out the puff pastry very thinly.
- Cut out four circles, using a saucer as a guide.
- Sprinkle a little water on an oiled baking sheet, and lay out the circles of pastry.
- Lightly prick the pastry all over with the tips of a fork to stop it rising as it cooks and pushing off the apples.
- Squeeze the lemon juice into a mixing bowl and stir in the caster sugar.
- Peel, core, and slice the apples into thin segments. As you work, place them in the sweetened lemon juice to keep them from browning.
- Cover the pastry with the apple slices in overlapping circles.
- Sprinkle icing sugar over each tart and dot with butter.
- Place the baking sheet in the oven and cook for 10 minutes or until the pastry is crisp and golden and the apples are tender and scorched in places.
- Serve hot, warm, or cold with the cream, whipped, if you like, with whisky.
- To do this in true French style, use calvados.
- Another impressive way to serve this dish is to sprinkle a cinnamon/sugar mixture over the tart just before serving.
- Then, take the tart to the table, pour the calvados over the entire face of the tart and light with a match.
- Aside from wowing everyone with your talent, the flames will carmelize the cinnamon/sugar mixture, adding a crunchy topping.
- Enjoy! 🍽️✨
