Ohhh yes 🥐🍎 Puff Pastry with Apples—simple, flaky, and naturally sweet. With just puff pastry and two apples, you can make an elegant dessert or breakfast treat in under 30 minutes. Here’s a super easy version.
🍎 Puff Pastry Apple Tart (2 Apples)
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed if frozen)
- 2 medium apples (Granny Smith, Honeycrisp, or Gala)
- 2–3 tbsp sugar (white or brown)
- 1 tsp cinnamon (optional)
- 1 tbsp butter, cut into small pieces
- 1 egg, beaten (for egg wash, optional)
Instructions
1️⃣ Prep apples
- Peel, core, and thinly slice apples.
- Toss slices with sugar and cinnamon.
2️⃣ Prepare puff pastry
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Roll puff pastry slightly on a lightly floured surface to fit your baking sheet.
- Transfer to parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Optional: score a 1/2-inch border around edges to let pastry puff up.
3️⃣ Assemble tart
- Lay apple slices neatly on puff pastry, leaving the border free.
- Dot butter over the apples.
- Optional: brush pastry edges with beaten egg for golden shine.
4️⃣ Bake
- Bake 20–25 min until pastry is puffed and golden, and apples are tender.
5️⃣ Serve
- Let cool slightly.
- Optional: drizzle with honey, powdered sugar, or caramel sauce.
Pro Tips
- Apple slices: keep them thin and uniform for even baking.
- Sugar & spice: brown sugar adds deeper caramel notes.
- Variation: sprinkle a handful of chopped nuts (pecans or walnuts) on top before baking.
- Make it fancy: serve warm with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
I can also give a “mini puff pastry apple roses” version with just 2 apples—stunning, bakery-style, and perfect for impressing guests 😏.
