Ingredients
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed in the refrigerator overnight
- All-purpose flour as needed
- 2 Granny Smith apples
- 1/4 cup sugar
Instructions
- <b>Prepare the puff pastry</b>
- Preheat an oven to 425&#176;F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Lay the sheet of puff pastry on a very lightly floured work surface and gently rub the top with a bit of flour. Using a rolling pin, roll out the pastry into a 10-by-15-inch rectangle about 1/8 inch thick. Place the rectangle on the prepared baking sheet and put in the freezer for 5 minutes.
- <b>Assemble the tart</b>
- Meanwhile, core the apples, cut them in half lengthwise and slice into very thin half moons. Using a sharp paring knife, cut a 1-inch border along the edges of the puff pastry, being careful not to cut more than halfway through the pastry. Prick the inside of the border all over with a fork, then sprinkle evenly with half of the sugar. Arrange the apple slices, slightly overlapping, on the inside of the puff pastry and sprinkle evenly with the remaining sugar.
- <b>Bake the tart</b>
- Bake until the puff pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender, 15 to 20 minutes. Cut the tart into pieces and serve warm or at room temperature. Serves 6 to 8.
