Ingredients

  • 1 heet puff pastry thawed
  • 4 ounce cream cheese softened
  • ½ cup light brown sugar packed, divided
  • 1 teaspoon rum extract
  • ¼ teaspoon nutmeg
  • 9 Apple Rings
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter melted
  • powdered sugar for garnish

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Unfold thawed puff pastry on a silpat or parchment paper lined baking sheet (make sure the baking sheet has sides). Cut the puff pastry into 9 equal sized pieces. Separate slightly on the baking sheet.
  3. In a mixing bowl, beat together the cream cheese, 1/4 cup of the brown sugar, rum extract, and nutmeg until smooth. Spread about 1-2 Tbsp onto each piece of puff pastry. Place one apple ring onto each piece.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together the remaining 1/4 cup brown sugar with melted butter. Drizzle over the apple rings. Bake for 20-22 minutes until golden brown. Allow to cool about 5 minutes on pan, then transfer each piece to a serving plate. Sprinkle with powdered sugar and enjoy!

Notes

  • Make sure your baking pan has sides to it! You don't want the butter and brown sugar mixture to drip off the pan and into your oven.
  • Serve these the same day as baking for best taste.
  • You'll need to let your frozen puff pastry thaw for about 40 minutes on the counter. I place it (folded and frozen) on a silpat baking sheet.
  • If you prefer a more GOLDEN color to your tart, beat an egg yolk and brush it onto your tart before baking.
  • Once these are done cooking, you'll wonder if they are done, as the melted butter and sugar will be all over the pan. Allow them to cool a few minutes, then use a metal spatula and move them from the baking sheet to a serving platter. You'll love that gooey cream cheese center.
  • Don't forget to add the powdered sugar and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. DELISH.
