Ingredients
- 1 box Frozen puff pastry about 17.3 ounces and contain two sheets of pastry, thawed according to package directions
- 3 red apples
- 1/4 cup butter melted
- 3 tbsp brown sugar
- 1 tsp all-purpose flour
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
- Caramel sauce enough to generously drizzle on each tart
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F degrees.
- Unfold each sheet of puff pastry and lay out on a clean, dry surface. Use a sharp knife to cut each sheet into 6 strips, for a total of 12 strips of puff pastry. Set aside.
- Cut each apple into quarters and remove the core with a paring knife. Use a sharp knife or a mandolin to slice the apple quarters into very thin slices (the thinner the better so the apples will be able to bend when you roll the tarts into roses).
- Lay the slices of apples on the top third of each strip of puff pastry, with the red apple peels facing out. A bit of each slice of apple should be slightly off of the top of the pastry.
- In a small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, flour, and cinnamon (the mixture will be thick and paste like). Use a pastry brush to brush some of the mixture on the puff pastry right below the apple slices.
- Fold the bottom half of the puff pastry up over the brown sugar mixture and the bottom half of the apple slices.
- Starting at one end, roll each of the pastries into a coil, like a cinnamon roll. Place into a greased muffin tin cup. Note: If some of the apples pop out or break while you’re rolling, just keep going. You can re-arrange the apples once you place the tart in the muffin cup. This process can be a bit messy.
- Repeat steps 4-7 with each strip of puff pastry.
- Bake at 400F for 22-25 minutes until the pastry is golden brown.
- Remove the tarts from the oven and place on a cooling rack to cool for 10 minutes.
- Drizzle each tart with caramel sauce.
