Tarts are quick and
easy to make when the shells are purchased at your local market. The
fillings can be just about anything you have on hand.
Puff
Pastry Apple Tarts Glazed with Honey
1
sheet frozen puff pastry (half of 17.3-ounce package), thawed
2
7- to 8-ounce Golden Delicious apples, peeled, halved, cored, each
half very thinly sliced
3 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
4 teaspoons honey
Line
2 baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll out pastry sheet on
lightly floured surface to very thin 18x14-inch rectangle. Using
small plate as guide, cut out four 7-inch rounds. Transfer 2 rounds
to each prepared sheet; cover and refrigerate at least 30 minutes
and up to 1 day.
Position 1 rack in top third and 1 rack in bottom third of oven and
preheat to 400°F. Overlap slices from 1/2 apple on each pastry
round, leaving 1/4-inch plain border. Sprinkle apple on each tart
with 2 1/4 teaspoons sugar, then drizzle with 2 1/4 teaspoons
butter.
Bake tarts until pastry is golden and apples are tender, about 25
minutes. Drizzle each tart with 1 teaspoon honey. Transfer tarts to
racks; cool 10 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
