I've made this dough numerous times with tremendous success. I mix the apricot jam with water and DONT strain it. Its fine! I dont mind the apricot chunks! Everyone loves it!
This year I plan on making it for my sister in laws Thanksgiving event. Does anyone know if I can make the dough the day before and let it sit overnight>

I just made this tonight and it came out really beautiful. I used a deeper 11x9 casserole dish lined with foil and pushed the dough up on the sides to avoid the mess everyone talked about. My only issue was that the apples were a little to tart for me, and I added a lot of sugar. After we tried it I sprinkled more on top before putting it in the fridge. All in all it's so easy and I will be using this dough for a lot of things! I had to cook mine longer too, almost 1.5 hours and the crust was perfectly browned on the bottom. Didn't use a glaze at all so maybe that's why it was too tart as well. Looks fancy though!

The tart looks beautiful & impressive. It tasted good but next time I will make it with a different glaze--I didn't really care for the apricot & brandy glaze.

I used a frozen sheet of puff pastry then proceeded with the recipe as written. It was simply delicious! I would recommend using salted butter or sprinkling a little kosher salt onto the apples before baking, it really adds something special! This time I was out of apricot jelly, so I made a thick simple syrup (2 parts water to 3 parts sugar and added a little brandy to glaze with. This is such a simple and delicious dessert! Try and leave a one-inch border around to keep the juice in the apples from running out onto the pan and into the bottom of the oven!

Easy to make and yet another winner from Ina! I rolled out the dough first and refrigerated it while I peeled & sliced the fruit. I used alternating slices of Granny Smith apples & bartlett pears, using the smaller pieces for the corners. The glaze is a must (I used water to thin, and makes this look like something from a French bakery! Baking time worked fine in my Viking.

Best tart ever. I make it again and again and it is fantastic. I only add one tbsp of sugar on the dough and mix apples and sometimes pears. Just love it.

I made the tart last week and omg it was delicious.. I do lots of work with cakes, cookies, etc. and this will be by next pastry for customers.. In regard to apricot jelly, use Simply friut. Excellent. I have also use apricot filling in a jar for when I can't find the other. strain and it's good to go. I waiting for the dough to chill, making another for dinner. It is truly scrumptious!
