Although Thanksgiving is upon us and there is much to be anticipated, we can sometimes lose track of time on the busy day, resulting in forgetting to make a dish for the feast. No worries, though; here is an apple tart recipe which is quick and easy to make, even for those who happen to procrastinate or are not as good at baking as others.

Ingredients

  • 1 sheet of puff pastry (thawed)
  • 2 whole Gala or Granny Smith apples
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
  • 1/4 tsp. nutmeg
  • 1/4 tsp. salt
  • 1-2 tblsp. melted butter

Directions

  • Preheat your oven to 415 degrees.
  • Peel, core, halve, and slice the two apples.
  • In a small to medium bowl, combine your apple slices, brown sugar, nutmeg, cinnamon, and salt.
  • Place your puff pastry onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Halve your puff pastry sheet.
  • Spread melted butter onto the tops of each half.
  • ArrangeĀ  your apple slices in a line on each puff pastry half (be sure the apple slices overlap!).
  • Fold over the edges of the puff pastry and press down the edges to be secured. Use more melted butter if needed.
  • Spread left over melted butter onto folded over edges.
  • Bake for about 15-18 minutes until golden brown. Let cool for a couple minutes once done.
  • Serve with ice cream or whipped cream (optional).
