Equipment
- 1 sharp knife
- 1 sieve
- 1 baking sheet or oven tray
- 1 greaseproof or parchment paper
- 1 pastry brush
Servings 6 tarts
Ingredients
- 3 medium apples (approximately 600 grams in total)
- 300 grams all-butter puff pastry (cut into 6 squares, if desired)
- 1 tablespoon flaked almonds
- 2 teaspoons caster sugar (for sprinkling)
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon (or more to taste)
- 1 egg yolk
Instructions
- First of all, preheat your oven to 200 degrees Celsius and place your puff pastry sheets on a flat surface to defrost to room temperature.
- Meanwhile, cut your apples in half from top to bottom and thinly slice them, flat side down, slicing off any tough core areas.
- Take your greaseproof paper (parchment paper) and place it onto your oven tray or baking sheet.
- Now place your defrosted pastry sheets onto the tray and prick with a fork, leaving a border around the edge.
- Nıow brush your pastries with the egg wash, paying extra attention to the edges.
- Sprinkle your cinnamon over the pastries.
- Now layer your apple slices along your pastry sheets, allowing them to overlap and leaving a gap around the perimeter of your puff pastry dough.
- Sprinkle the apples with your almond flakes and now place your tray into the centre of the preheated oven.
- Bake for 15-20 minutes until the apple slices have released their juices and you have golden brown flaky crusts around the edge.
- Remove from the oven and sieve the caster sugar over your apple tarts.
- Serve immediately or leave to cool and store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days.
Notes
- In Turkey, frozen puff pastry is sold in oblong sheets weighing 100 grams each so we use a total of 300 grams of pastry for our apple tarts.
- We use 'all-butter' puff pastry for a richer flavour and lighter texture.
- We use sweet Golden Delicious apples for our apple tarts and we find a sprinkling of caster sugar (superfine sugar) at the end gives us an apple tart to suit our taste. If you are using tart apples or you have a sweet tooth, you can sprinkle your apple tarts with some brown sugar before baking.
