Instructions
Creating your Puff Pastry Apple Tart can be both a fun and rewarding experience. Follow these simple steps to perfection:
1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Apples: Core and slice the apples into thin, even slices. In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with the sugar, cinnamon, vanilla extract, and lemon juice. Set aside to allow the flavors to combine.
3. Roll Out the Puff Pastry: On a lightly floured surface, roll out the puff pastry into a rectangular shape. Trim to fit your tart pan or baking sheet accordingly.
4. Transfer the Pastry: Gently place the rolled pastry into the prepared tart pan, allowing any excess to hang over the edges.
5. Arrange the Apples: Neatly arrange the apple mixture on top of the pastry, overlapping the apple slices slightly to create a visually appealing design.
6. Fold the Edges: Fold the edges of the puff pastry over the apples, creating a border. You can crimp or pinch the edges for a decorative finish.
7. Egg Wash: Brush the exposed pastry edges with beaten egg to achieve a golden color while baking.
8. Bake the Tart: Place the tart in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown and puffed.
9. Cool: Once baked, remove the tart from the oven and let it cool on a wire rack for about 10-15 minutes.
10. Dust with Powdered Sugar: If desired, lightly dust the top with powdered sugar before slicing.
