Apple Tart
Ingredients
- 1 sheet (7.5 oz) ready-to-bake puff pastry
- 4-5 tart green apples, such as Granny Smith
- 1 lemon for juice
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 4-5 ounces apricot jam for glaze
Instructions
- Peel apples, core and thinly slice each apple into half-moon pieces. Pre-heat the oven to 400F (190C) degrees.
- Flour the cutting board and roll out the pastry dough, then drape the dough in a pie pan. Trim any dough that hangs over the pan’s edge. Carefully arrange the apples in a circular pattern in the pastry shell. Sprinkle the lemon juice over the apples.
- Place tart on a cookie sheet, then put in pre-heated oven on center rack. Bake for about 30 minutes. Check after 15 minutes to make sure that the edges of the pastry do not burn. If they brown too fast, place pieces of aluminum foil over the dough’s edges to protect them from burning. Sprinkle with cinnamon and allow to cool for about 10 minutes.
- Spread apricot jam or preserves over the tart to glaze. To make the jam easier to spread, warm the apricot jam in a pan of hot water. Serve warm.
Notes
- Puff pastry sheets can be found in the frozen food section of your local supermarket, and are commonly packaged two to a box. For this recipe, you’ll only need 1 of the sheets. Remove a sheet from the freezer to let thaw 20 minutes or so before rolling out the dough.
