Mini Spiced Apple Tarts
Ingredients: 1/2 box (1 sheet) puff pastry dough, thawed 1 egg 1 tsp water demerara sugar or large granulated sugar, for sprinkling Spiced Apple Mix: 1 Fuji apple, thinly sliced & cored 2 Tbs maple syrup 2 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp nutmeg 2 Tbs brown sugar Makes 8 Mini Tarts Directions: Preheat oven to 400. While the pastry dough is thawing, mix together your apple slices with spice mix in a large bowl, toss to coat and set aside. Thaw one sheet of puff pastry dough *takes approx 40 mins from frozen, when defrosted, lay pastry dough on a piece of parchment paper or a lightly floured surface and gently roll out dough to create a smooth, flat, seamless surface. Using a 3 inch cookie/biscuit cutter, cut out as many circles as you can (I get about 4-5 circles from the start) continue gently rolling and cutting circles until all the dough is used up. Lay the cut circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, prick only the centers of each circle all over with a fork - leaving about a 1/2 inch edge of solid dough. Lay spiced apples in the middle of each circle (I stood mine upright a bit, resting against each other - 4 thin slices fit into the center of each of my circles.) Mix the egg and water together in a bowl and Brush the outside solid edges of dough with the beaten egg/water mixture, sprinkle with sugar and Bake at 400 for approx 20 mins or until golden brown. Serve warm or room temperature. Recipe & Photos by: Diane Baker for Canning and Cooking at Home
