Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 small Granny Smith apples
2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1 sheet (half of a 17.3-ounce package) puff pastry, thawed
1 large egg
1/4 cup store-bought or homemade caramel sauce
Sea salt, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  • Slice the apples into thin pieces (about 1/4-inch). Put them in a large bowl, and then add the lemon juice, vanilla extract and brown sugar, tossing to thoroughly combine.
  • Unfold the sheet of puff pastry onto the lined baking sheet. Lightly score the dough by cutting a border 1 inch from the edges (do not cut through the pastry). Prick the pastry all over with a fork. Shake off any excess liquid from each apple slice, and then arrange them on the puff pastry inside the border area.
  • Whisk together the egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash. Bake the tart until golden and puffed, 15 to 17 minutes.
  • Remove the tart from the oven, drizzle it with the caramel sauce and sprinkle it with sea salt if desired. Slice and serve immediately.
