Ingredients
  • 2 Granny Smith Apples
  • ¼ cup of sugar
  • 2 tablespoons cold unsalted butter, small-diced
  • 2 tablespoons apricot jelly
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 puff pastry sheet
Instructions
  1. Defrost puff pastry overnight in the fridge.
  2. Heat up the oven to 400 degree F.
  3. Unfold one puff pastry sheet on baking sheet lined with Siltpat (Non-Stick Silicone Baking Mat). Don't worry if the pastry sheet is not perfectly square. If the sheet splits from the folded lines, just press them back together with your fingers.
  4. Peel the apples, core them to remove seeds and slice them in ¼-inch-thick slices.
  5. Place overlapping slices of apples diagonally down the middle of the tart until the pastry is covered with apple slices. (I would not use the apple ends in order to make the arrangement beautiful).
  6. Sprinkle with sugar and dot with diced butter.
  7. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the pastry is browned and the edges of the apples start to brown. Rotate the pan once during baking. If the pastry puffs up in one area, cut a little slit with a knife to let the air out.
  8. When the tart is done, heat the apricot jelly together with water in a small microwaveable bowl for 10-15 seconds. Brush the apples and the pastry completely with the jelly mixture.
  9. Use a metal spatula to loose the tart from the Siltpat and transfer to a cutting board. Use a sharp knife to cut into big slices and serve warm or at room temperature.
