Ingredients
  

  • 1 sheet puff pastry thawed if frozen
  • 1 Red Delicious apple peeled, cored, and cut into thin slices
  • 1/8 cup brown sugar
  • 1/8 cup granulated sugar
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter cut up into 6 equal slices
  • 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon optional
  • A pinch salt
  • Confectioners sugar for serving

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  • Caramelize the Apples: In your pan or skillet, melt the butter over medium heat. Add both types of sugar, cinnamon and a pinch of salt, stirring until the sugars dissolve and the mixture starts to bubble.
  • Add the apple wedges to the round baking pan/skillet, arranging them tightly in a circular pattern. Cook over medium heat for about 10 minutes, until the apples are somewhat tender and caramelized. Be careful not to burn the caramel.
  • Prepare the Puff Pastry: While the apples are caramelizing, roll out your puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Cut in 6 even rectangles.
  • Once the apples are caramelized, let them cool off for a few minutes.
  • Then place the 6 slices of butter on the baking sheet, add 4 slices of caramelized apple on each one and top with the piece of puff pastry. Then push the edges down using a fork.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and puffed.
  • Let the tart cool for a few minutes after removing it from the oven. Then carefully flip the tart onto the plate. Be very careful, as the caramel and pan will be very hot.
  • Dust some confectioners sugar over the tarts.
  • Serve warm or at room temperature, ideally with a dollop of whipped cream or a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
