Note: I wrote that paragraph above many years ago and by now this tart has been my saviour at all kinds of events and the kind of non events that make life worth living. It’s also a dish you can easily prettily put together with domestic goddess ease while you chat with your friends at the island. I am all about easy elegance!

Step by Step: A Quick, Easy, & Delicious Apple Puff Pastry Tart(Makes 9 squares)
1 thawed sheet of all butter puff pastry2 firm sweet apples1.5 - 2 tbsp brown sugar1 tbsp buttera sprinkling of cinnamontoasted slivered almonds (or any nut you like) for topping Preheat your oven to 375 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Slice your apples nice and thin. Roll the puff pastry sheet out to extend it by another inch or so on each side if you want a slimmer base. Or not. Totally up to you. The standard sheet here is a 10*10. Arrange your apple slices over the puff pastry sheet. I like to play around with designs. This rose like configuration is a favorite because it looks so pretty. Scatter the brown sugar over top. Dot with butter and top with a sprinkling of cinnamon. Bake for 15-17 minutes until the edges are nice and golden and there is some oozy sweet magic happening. Top with the toasted almonds. Cut into squares and serve as is or with a little ice cream. JK you’re just going to snack on it and eat the whole thing without realizing it 🙂 While you do don’t forget to rate the recipe below!
