PUMPKIN APPLE TART

• Raise the oven temp to 400 degrees. Prep a parchment lined baking sheet and place the puff pastry sheet/s on top*. Using a sharp knife, lightly score the pastry dough 1 inch in from the edges all around to mark a rectangle. (There is a link to a video to see how this is done (below this recipe card) if this does not make sense). Then, using a fork, pierce the dough all around in the center, not the edges. Next, you can use that same sharp knife to make slits on the edges if desired. Bake the pastry dough until golden, for about 15 minutes.
