Easy Apple Tart

Need a dessert?  This Easy Apple Tart is so easy but over the top yummy! This semi homemade dessert will make the novice to the expert cook the shining star of the night!

There are nights that I just need a dessert but don’t have the time to make something difficult or time consuming. This recipe is the solution to that problem. It takes only minutes to put together and minutes to cook until it hits your table!

 This is basically apple pie in its simplest form.  The puff pastry  helps make the perfect pie!

VARIATIONS

• I used Granny Smith apples because I love that they aren’t as sweet and it’s a great combination with the sugar. If you don’t have Granny Smith, use what you have!
• You don’t love apples? You can use any fruit that you have to replace the apples.
• Add your favorite nut to the mix!
• We served with Vanilla ice cream but this would be fabulous with whipped cream.

EASY HELPS

• The perfect apple slice is about 1/4 inch. It allows the apple to stay tender but doesn’t get to the mushy stage.
• I sliced the apples first and put them in the sugar mixture while I prepared the crust. That gives the apples time to soak up all the goodness.
• Puff pastry bakes the best when it’s still cold. So if it’s taking you a minute to get things together, place it in the fridge while you work.
• The apples will release their juices while cooking. So yummy but can make a messy pan! I line my pan with parchment paper.
