Thin slivers of apple spread on a round of puff pastry, these little apple tarts are simple to put together.
Ingredients
- 400g roll ready-made puff pastry, defrosted
- 3 apples (Pink Ladies or Granny Smiths work well)
- Juice of 1 lemon
- 80ml ( cup) butter, melted
- 5ml (1 tsp) ground cinnamon
- 30ml (2 tbsp) brown sugar
Method
Roll out the dough and cut it into 4-6 individual circles with a cookie cutter. Place the circles on a greased baking tray without touching.
Peel and core the apples, then cut them into very thin slices - the thinner the better. Toss the apple slices in the lemon juice to stop them going brown.
Arrange the apple slices on top of the circles of dough in a flower pattern, or concentrically overlapping. Drizzle the butter over the apples.
Mix together the cinnamon and sugar and sprinkle this evenly over the apples.
Bake in a preheated oven at 200C for 12 minutes. Do not open the oven door while the tarts are baking.
