Ingredients
- 1 sheet frozen butter puff pastry, thawed in the fridge
- 2 tart apples, such as Honey Crisp or Mutsu
- 1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
- 2 tablespoons 10% (half-&-half) cream
Directions
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius).
- Place the puff pastry on a parchment-lined baking tray, dock with a fork, and chill while preparing the apples.
- Peel the apples and core them using an apple corer to keep the apples whole. Slice the apples thinly using a mandolin slicer or by hand. Arrange the apple slices in three or four rows over the pastry, sprinkle with the brown sugar and then drizzle the cream overtop with a spoon. Bake the tart for 35 to 40 minutes, until the pastry and apples have browned and the juices and pastry caramelized at the edges.
- Serve the tart in slices warm or at room temperature on its own, or with ice cream.
