Apple Flory A Puff Pastry Tart Scotland Recipes

EASY PUFF PASTRY APPLE TART

Steps:

• Peel apples, cut them in half through the core, and remove the core using a melon baller or a knife. Place the halved apples cut side down, and slice into very thin pieces.
• Arrange apples on the pastry, overlapping each other slightly, leaving a bit of a border around the sides. For each tart, sprinkle half of the sugar and gently brush with half of the melted butter.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, until edges are golden brown. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack.
• Serve warm or at room temperature. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and serve with ice cream if you like.
