Written By Mahya Roudneshin - January 15 2025

Spiced Apple and Cinnamon Puff Pastry Tarts

This delightful and warming dessert is perfect for chilly winter days. These spiced apple and cinnamon puff pastry tarts are easy to make and pair wonderfully with a cup of tea.

 

 Ingredients:

- 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed if frozen)

- 2 medium-sized apples 

- 2 tbsp granulated sugar

- 1 tbsp brown sugar

- 1 tsp ground cinnamon

- ½ tsp ground nutmeg

- ½ tsp ground ginger

- ¼ tsp ground cloves

- 1 tbsp lemon juice

- 1 egg (for egg wash)

- 1 tbsp water (to mix with the egg)

- Optional: powdered sugar for dusting

 

 Instructions:

 

1. Prepare the Apples:

   - Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples.

   - Place the slices in a bowl and toss with lemon juice to prevent browning.

   - Add the granulated sugar, brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, ginger, and cloves to the bowl. Mix well to coat the apples evenly with the spices.

 

2. Prepare the Puff Pastry:

   - Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F).

   - Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface to smooth out any creases.

   - Cut the pastry into rectangles or squares (approximately 4 inches by 4 inches).

 

3. Assemble the Tarts:

   - Place the puff pastry pieces on a parchment-lined baking sheet.

   - Lightly score a border around each piece (about 1 cm from the edge) without cutting all the way through.

   - Arrange the apple slices inside the border, slightly overlapping them.

 

4. Egg Wash:

   - In a small bowl, whisk together the egg and water.

   - Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the egg wash to give them a golden finish when baked.

 

5. Bake:

   - Place the tarts in the preheated oven and bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden and flaky.

 

6. Cool and Serve:

   - Let the tarts cool for a few minutes.

   - Dust with powdered sugar for a snowy winter touch if desired.

 

 Serving Suggestion:

Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream. Pair it with a hot cup of Mrs Doyle's tea for the ultimate winter treat!

 

Enjoy your Spiced Apple and Cinnamon Puff Pastry Tarts!
