Minute Apple Tart

By , About.com Guide

This super simple four ingredient recipe features frozen puff pastry, sliced apple, and apricot jam. That's it! Serve it with whipped cream or vanilla ice cream. I also like to sprinkle these with chopped almonds or pistachio nuts before topping them with the cinnamon sugar mixture.

Prep Time: 15 minutes

Cook Time: 10 minutes

Ingredients:

  • 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
  • 2 Granny Smith apples or two peaches, peeled, cored and sliced paper thin
  • 1/2 cup apricot jam or preserves
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1/2 cup chopped pistachios

Preparation:

Roll pastry onto a well floured surface into a 12" x 12" rectangle and cut into nine 3" squares. Prick the pastry with a fork and coat each with a spoonful of apricot jam. Fan the apple slices over the jam, arranged nicely.

In small bowl, combine brown sugar and cinnamon and mix well. Sprinkle over apple (or peach) slices. Put the tarts on an ungreased cookie sheet.

Bake at 350 degrees for 10-12 minutes, until the apple slices are crisp-tender and the pastry is golden brown. Sprinkle with pistachios. Try serving these hot, with vanilla ice cream!
