Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry
  • 3 tablespoons apricot jam melted, divided
  • 4 medium apples honeycrisp, cored and sliced into ¼-inch thickness
  • 3 tablespoons light brown sugar
  • 1 tablespoon lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons vanilla extract
  • 2 tablespoons butter cubed small
US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F.
  • Roll out the puff pastry larger than a 9-inch tart pan if needed. Gently press the pastry into the pan and up the sides and trim any excess. Poke the bottom of the pastry with a fork, then brush with 1 tablespoon of apricot preserves. Place in the fridge until ready to bake.
  • In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with brown sugar, lemon juice, and vanilla until evenly coated.
  • Arrange the apple slices around the edge of the puff pastry in a circular pattern, overlapping each piece slightly. Repeat with the center of the tart. Add a second layer of apple slices around the edge and center, arranging them into your desired design.
  • Pour any remaining juices over the apples, then dot the top with cubed butter.
  • Place the tart pan on a baking sheet and bake for 35 to 40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and puffed and the apples are tender. Brush with remaining apricot jam.

Notes

  • My Top Tip: Puff pastry comes frozen and you'll need to thaw it before using it! I always thaw puff pastry in the fridge. If you do it at room temperature, the pastry becomes soft and gummy and impossible to roll out!
  • Storage: This apple tart can be kept in an airtight container in the fridge for a few days, though it's best the day it's made (the crust will get a bit soggy). To reheat, I would just pop a slice in the microwave for 30 seconds or until warm. Freezing is not recommended.
