- 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:
- ⅓ cup honey
- 1 Tablespoon fresh thyme leaves or fresh rosemary
- 1 teaspoon freshly squeezed lemon juice
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!
- 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.
