Ingredients

  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed but chilled
  • 2 medium apples peeled and sliced 1/4 inch thick
  • Egg wash:
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 Tablespoon water
  • 2 Tablespoons turbinado or any course sugar
  • Honey mixture:
  • cup honey
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or fresh rosemary
  • 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 425°F. Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Lay out puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface. With a rolling pin, gently roll out the pastry to a sheet 12x12-inches. Cut into 6 squares. Transfer the pastry squares to the parchment lined baking sheet.
  • Spoon on 1 tablespoon of preserves on each square (not touching the pastry edges).
  • Start to arrange apple slices (depends on how big your slices are, I did 3) on top of the preserves.
  • Spoon on another little bit of preserves on top of the apple slices.
  • Make the egg wash by beating the egg and water in a small bowl. Brush egg wash over the border of each pastry. Sprinkle a little sugar evenly over the border.
  • Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the edges have puffed and are golden brown and crisp.
  • While the tarts are baking, combine the honey, lemon juice, and fresh thyme.
  • Let tarts rest a few minutes on the baking sheet.
  • When ready to serve, drizzle on the honey-thyme mixture.
  • Best served warm. Enjoy!

Notes

  • Puff pastry: Remember to take out the pastry sheets from the freezer about 30-40 mins before to have them defrost.
  • Prep apples: While defrosting, you could slice your apples and squeeze a little lemon or lime juice on them so they won't turn brown.
