Equipment
- oven
- baking tray
- Baking Paper
Ingredients
- 1 sheet butter puff pastry (25cm / 10" square) barely thawed
- 5 teaspoon caster sugar / superfine sugar sub regular / granulated
- 2 large gala apples peeled, cut in half, core removed, sliced 0.5cm / 0.2" thick
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter melted
For serving
- Icing sugar / powdered sugar for dusting (optional)
- Vanilla ice cream not really optional!
Instructions
- Put a baking tray in the oven then turn it on and pre-heat to 210°C/375°F (190°C fan-forced).
- Place a sheet of baking paper (parchment paper) on the counter. Sprinkle with 3 teaspoons of sugar, roughly in the shape of the puff pastry sheet.
- Place puff pastry on top of the sugar. Fold the edges inwards to create a 1cm / 0.4" edge.
- Arrange the apple slices in 3 rows, overlapping them slightly.
- Brush the apple slices and edges with melted butter, then sprinkle with the sugar (apple and edge).
- Transfer the tart on the paper to the hot baking tray (keep it on the paper). Bake for 30 minutes, or until the edges are golden.
- Cut into 6, dust with icing sugar and serve warm with vanilla ice cream.
Notes
Leftovers will keep for 3 days though best served fresh as the pastry will soften. It can be rejuvenated with a quick little oven blast for a few minutes to warm the tart up.
