Ingredients
 
 

  • 1 sheet Puff pastry store bought or homemade
  • 1 Egg for the egg wash
  • 2 tablespoon demerara sugar for the top

Apple topping

  • 4 cups Apples cored, peeled, and sliced
  • cup Brown sugar
  • 4 tablespoon Honey or maple
  • ¾ teaspoon Cinnamon
  • ¼ teaspoon Nutmeg
  • ½ teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1 teaspoon Cornstarch mixed with 1-2 tablespoon of water
  • 9 tablespoon Caramel sauce for the top

Instructions
 

  • Preheat an oven to 200c (400f), and let your puff pastry thaw for about 2 hours (before preheating the oven) or until it's easy to work with.
  • Lightly flour a clean surface and use a rolling pin to roll the puff pastry slightly and cut it into 9 even rectangles using a pizza cutter or a knife.
  • Use a butter knife to score a smaller rectangle into each tart piece.
  • Place the rectangles on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and place it in the fridge while you make the topping.

Make the apple topping

  • Peel, core, and slice the apples into medium-sized slices (not too thinly).
  • Add the apples to a saucepan over medium heat, and add the cinnamon, nutmeg, brown sugar, kosher salt, honey (or maple), and 1 tablespoon of water. Mix with a wooden spatula until well combined and the brown sugar is dissolved.
  • Reduce to medium-low heat, cover, and simmer for about 5 minutes.
  • Add the cornstarch mixed with a little bit of water and mix until there are no lumps of cornstarch visible. Add the cornstarch mixture to the apple mixture and mix well. Set aside to cool.
  • Remove the pan from the fridge and top each dough rectangle with a few slices of the cooked apples. Brush the edges of the tarts with egg wash and sprinkle demerara sugar on top of an extra crunch.
  • Bake the tarts in a 200c (400f) preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until they are golden brown on top. Keep an eye on the tarts so they won't burn.
  • Remove from the oven and let them cool for 30 minutes.
  • Top each tart with caramel sauce (store-bought or homemade) and powdered sugar. Serve with vanilla ice cream and enjoy!

Notes

  • Feel free to make the tarts in whatever size you'd like. You can make these smaller or bigger. We cut ours into 6 tarts.
  • Keep an eye on the tarts when they are baking! They are easy to burn.
  • Make these tarts your own by adding or topping them with your favorite flavors. Add a teaspoon of fig jam, and top it with powdered sugar, caramel sauce, etc.
  • Don't slice the apples too thinly, I recommend slicing them into medium thickness, because in the cooking process, they will shrink, and we want to feel the texture of the apples in every bite.
