Description
A simple and elegant dessert featuring thinly sliced apples arranged in rose shapes over a flaky crust.
Ingredients
- 1 sheet refrigerated puff pastry, thawed
- 2 medium red apples, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons apricot preserves
- 1 tablespoon water
- 2 tablespoons granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a tart pan or line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Place the apple slices in a microwave-safe bowl with lemon juice and 2 tablespoons of water. Microwave for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly softened and flexible.
- Roll out the puff pastry slightly and place it into the tart pan. Brush with melted butter.
- Arrange the apple slices in overlapping rows, starting from the outside edge and working inward to create a rose pattern. Sprinkle evenly with sugar and cinnamon.
- Bake for 35 to 40 minutes until the pastry is golden brown and crisp. Warm the apricot preserves with 1 tablespoon of water and brush over the tart before serving.
Notes
- Choose red apples with thin skins for the prettiest rose pattern and tender texture after baking.
