When we have fresh, local, tart apples, we like to simply plop them down on buttery puff pastry, bake, and serve with good caramel sauce and ice cream. The variations are endless. Recipe by Whitney Reist of Sweet Cayenne.
Note from Whitney: To make 12 tartlets, use the entire package of puff pastry and multiply other ingredients. You will likely need 2 whole apples.
1. Preheat oven to 425F. Line baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Cut a 4″ square from puff pastry sheet. Gently stretch it out a bit with fingers. Brush with egg mixture.
3. Slice apple into thin wedges about 1/8″ thick. Place on puff pastry, leaving a 1/2″ border.
4. Combine sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle on top of apples.
5. Bake 18-20 minutes until crisp and golden brown. Serve with drizzle of warm caramel sauce and a scoop of ice cream.
