Description
This simple tart combines the best of caramel and apple flavors to create a dessert that is unforgettable and as easy as pie.
Directions
Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
Lay the puff pastry on a parchment paper lined sheet pan. If the pastry has creases in it, roll a rolling pin over it to flatten it out slightly. Cut a large disk from the pastry (it will be about 9 - 10 inch in diameter) using a dinner plate for a pattern. Prick the surface all over with a fork, well.
Bake for 15 to 20 minutes till golden brown on top. Set aside.
Meanwhile, cut each apple into 8 wedges. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add apples and cook, stirring occasionally 10 minutes or until apples begin to soften. Reduce heat to low and cook an additional 5 minutes or until apples are cooked through. Remove apples from skillet and set aside.
Add the cinnamon and caramels to skillet and melt over low heat, stirring frequently for 5 minutes. Return apples to skillet and fold them into the melted caramel.
Spoon the warm apple mixture over cooked pastry. Tart is best when served the same day.
