Description
These Mini Apple Tarts are flaky, buttery, and incredibly simple to make, perfect for a delightful dessert.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed if frozen
- 1 large apple, thinly sliced (skins on)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- ½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
- Pinch salt
- Confectioners’ sugar, for dusting
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a skillet, melt one tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Stir in brown sugar, granulated sugar, cinnamon, and a pinch of salt until bubbly.
- Add the apple slices and cook for 5–7 minutes, until slightly softened but still holding their shape. Remove from the heat and let cool.
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into 6 rectangles. On the baking sheet, place one thin pat of the reserved butter where each tart will sit.
- Arrange a few apple slices on top of the butter in small clusters. Place a puff pastry rectangle on top and press the edges down with a fork to seal.
- Bake for 25–30 minutes, until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Let cool for 5 minutes, then carefully invert so apples are on top. Dust with confectioners’ sugar and serve warm with ice cream or whipped cream.
Notes
- For a richer flavor, consider using a mix of different apple varieties.
- These tarts can be served warm or at room temperature.
- They pair well with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
