Fall Apple Tart

I just though of this yesterday and made it. I’m now in love & want it every single day. Forever & ever. So I think yall should make this for Thanksgiving tomorrow. Trust me…you will make a lot of people happy. I mean it’s apples (at the peak of apple season, mind you), cinnamon, fall spices, and heavenly, flaky pastry crust. O and butter which always makes everything delicious. And it is so, so, soooooo easy. Plus it has apples in it which negate all the calories in the puff pastry, butter & sugar. So basically, this is a really, really great dessert that’s also very good for you. Atleast that’s what I am going to be telling myself tomorrow as I consume mass amounts of it… again. So just make it, K? Have a Happy Happy Thanksgiving!

O and for a little snack for your guests while they wait, I would also make THIS…

And I may or may not have also made one of THESE (but with real sugar, duh)…

Or one of THESE…

Ok so maybe my new tradition involves eating a lot of pie, pastries, chex mix and possibly even chocolate molten cakes. Or maybe not…I never tell my secrets.

1 box puff pastry dough
3 apples (whatever ones taste the best at the time-I used Macintosh & Green)
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 cup brown sugar
1 Tbsp. vanilla
1 Tbsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. cloves
1 tsp. nutmeg
1 tsp. lemon juice, fresh squeezed
2 Tbsp. butter, melted
pinch of salt

First, take out puff pastry to thaw slightly. You do NOT want this to get soft, just thawed enough to be able to unfold the sheets

Preheat oven @350

Slice apples as thin as possible & put in mixing bowl

Pour sugar, spices, lemon juice, vanilla over apples & let sit for 15 minutes or up to 2 days, set aside.

Unfold puff pastry & cut into desired width (I did rectangles about 3 inches wide, 5 inches long)

Lay apples over puff pastry, being sure you leave free space around the edges

Brush edges of puff pastry with melted butter

Bake for 10-15 minutes or until golden brown then brush top off apples with melted butter & serve (Maybe with vanilla icecream!)
