HONEY APPLE AND NECTARINE TART WITH WHIPPED MASCARPONE

Steps:

• Line 1 large baking sheet with parchment paper. Place the sheet of puff pastry on a floured surface and cut into 4 even squares. Separate the squares and leave some room between them on the baking sheet. Create a border around the inside of each square by scoring about 1/2-inch around the inside the square. Prick the dough inside the small square. 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 degrees F.
• On each pastry square, overlap slices of apple and nectarine, within the border.
• Brush fruit on each tart, with melted butter and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon sugar.
• Bake tarts until pastry is golden and apples are tender, about 20 minutes. Drizzle each tart with 1 teaspoon honey. Transfer tarts to racks; cool 5 minutes. Serve warm or at room temperature.
• While tarts are cooling, whisk mascarpone with orange liqueur. Top each cooled tart with a dollop of flavored mascarpone.
