2 Granny smith apples, cored and sliced thin
2 Red plums, pitted and sliced thin
2 tsp Fresh lemon juice
4 tbsp Unsalted butter, softened
4 tbsp Raw sugar
1 tsp Vanilla
1 sheet Puff pastry
1 Egg
1 tbsp Heavy cream
3 tbsp Apricot preserve
¼ cup Water

Steps:

Preheat oven to 400°. Toss apple in lemon juice to prevent browning. Stir together butter and vanilla. Roll out pastry on a lightly floured surface with a floured rolling pin till doubled in size. Cut into 4 squares. Transfer carefully to parchment-lined baking sheet, with room to expand between each sheet. Place 1 tablespoon of butter in the center of each square top with apples and plums, alternating, into a spiral. Fold in puff pastry, to form a crust. Brush the edges of the crust with egg wash and sprinkle with sugar. Place on the center rack of the oven and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, or until crust is golden brown. In a small sauce pan cook apricot jam and water till smooth and syrupy. Remove tarts from the oven and cool slightly before brushing with apricot syrup. Serve with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
