Apple Tart
A simple elegant dessert prepared in minutes!
(Makes 4)

 

Ingredients:
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (half of 17.3-ounce package), thawed

2 large apples, any variety but Golden delicious are best for this recipe
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 teaspoons apricot jam

Directions:

  1. Position 1 rack in top third and 1 rack in bottom third of oven and preheat oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit.
  2. Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll out pastry sheet on lightly floured surface to very thin
    18x14-inch rectangle.
  3. Using small plate as guide, cut out four 7-inch rounds. Transfer 2 rounds to each prepared sheet; cover
    and refrigerate at least 30 minutes and up to 1 day.
  4. Meanwhile, peel, halve and core each apple, then slice very thinly.
  5. Overlap slices from 1/2 apple onto each pastry round, leaving 1/4-inch plain border. Sprinkle apple on
    each tart with 2 1/4 teaspoons sugar, and then drizzle with a little butter.
  6. Bake tarts until pastry is golden and apples are tender, about 25 minutes.
  7. Warm the apricot jam carefully in a small pan.  Brush each tart with jam for a shiny glazed look.
  8. Transfer tarts to racks; cool 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
