Puff Pastry Apple Tarts

Created by Chef Caroline Achard 

Our mini apple tarts are piping with fresh apples upon layers of puff pastry and only require a few simple steps to prepare. Using our Bio Food Pack TO109 baking molds for this recipe just enhances how quick and easy the bake is from preparation, to cleanup.

 These small 4.3" tarts topped with a scoop of ice cream really make for a perfect personal dessert. The puff pastry adds a buttery and delicious foundation for this dessert and everything is tied together with the warm sugared apples.

Of course, like any recipe, you can use a store bought puff pastry, however Caroline tends to make hers in advance. If you are unsure how to create puff pastry from scratch check out our Brioche with Créme Pâtissiére recipe. Regardless of what you do in preparation we used a 10-by-15-inch sheet of puff pastry to create 4 delicious little tartlets. 

This dessert is the perfect way to enjoy fresh apples and you'll have them in under an hour (including prep and bake time).
