Ingredients

  • 1 package (2 sheets) frozen puff pastry, defrosted
  • 4 small (6 ounce) Granny Smith apples
  • 3/4 cup sugar
  • 6 tablespoons (3/4 stick) cold unsalted butter, small-diced
  • 3/4 cup apricot jelly or warm sieved apricot jam
  • 3 tablespoons Calvados, rum, or water

Directions

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Line 2 sheet pans with parchment paper.

Cut each sheet of puff pastry into 4 squares. Divide the pastry between the prepared sheet pans and refrigerate while you prepare the apples.

Peel the apples and cut them in half through the stem. Remove the stems and cores with a sharp knife and a melon baller. Slice the apples crosswise in 1/4-inch-thick slices. Place overlapping slices of apples diagonally across the pastry and place one slice of apple on each side of the arranged slices. Sprinkle the apples evenly with the sugar and dot them with the butter.

Bake for 40 minutes, until the pastry is browned and the edges of the apples start to brown. Don't worry! The apple juices will burn in the pan but the tarts will be fine! When the tarts are done, heat the apricot jelly together with the Calvados until bubbly and brush the apples and pastry completely with the jelly mixture. Loosen the tarts with a metal spatula so they don't stick to the paper. Allow to cool and serve warm or at room temperature.

    I loved this recipe! The only thing I did differently was reduce the amount of sugar used. I like the natural sweetness of the fruit and thought it was fine even with the tart Granny Smith apples. Thank you Ina!!

    These were fantastic! I'm not an apricot fan, but the apricot calvados glaze really made these pastries shine. I made the mussel bisque from the same episode, and it was delicious as well.

    These tarts are a simple and easy dessert. Made them for the first time for guests, and everyone loved them. I should have switched the pans half way through the baking time, because one pan was a little more brown than the other. I followed the recipe exactly, and they turned out nice. The apricot glaze added flavor and gave the tarts a pretty appearance. 40 minutes was spot on, just FYI, my oven is nothing fancy, a 18 year old electric oven. These would be nice for breakfast too, I will try with other fruit.
