About the Recipe

Ingredients

makes 3-4 servings

  • ½ sheet puff pastry (½ sheet = approximately 4½x9 inches), thawed
  • ½ package almond paste (3½ ounces)
  • 1 large Granny Smith apple, peeled, cored and sliced ⅛ inch thick
  • 2 teaspoons butter, cut into ¼-inch bits
  • 2 teaspoons sugar
  • ⅛ teaspoon cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon apple jelly, melted

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. Place puff pastry on prepared sheet and fold edges over by ¼ inch and crimp to create a ¼-inch thick border.
  4. Roll almond paste into a 4x8-inch rectangle, trimming to fit within the border of the puff pastry. Lay almond paste rectangle on top of pastry.
  5. Beginning in 1 corner of the tart, shingle apple slices over almond paste in neat, diagonal rows, overlapping each slice by about half, until surface is completely covered.
  6. Dot apple slices with butter.
  7. Mix sugar and cinnamon and sprinkle apple slices evenly.
  8. Bake until pastry is golden brown and apples have softened and caramelized, 35-40 minutes. Remove from oven and brush apples with melted jelly.
  9. Let cool 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
