If you're a dessert enthusiast but short on time, we've got the perfect recipe for you. This 5-minute apple tart is not only incredibly quick to prepare but also tastes like it's been baked with hours of love and attention. Let's dive into this delightful recipe and discover how you can create a beautiful apple tart in no time.
Ingredients:
- 1 puff pastry sheet (thawed per instructions)
- 2 large apples (cored & sliced thin)
- 1 cup brown sugar
- A pinch of salt (optional)
Directions:
Preheat Your Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400 degrees. While it's warming up, you can quickly prep your tart.
Then thinly slice your apples making sure they’re the same thickness so they cook evenly.
Prepare the Puff Pastry: Lay out your puff pastry sheet in your roaster.
Layer the Apple Slices: Take your cored and thinly sliced apples and arrange them neatly along the inside of the puff pastry.
Sweeten the Deal: Now, it's time to add the sweetness. Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the apple slices.
Optional: A Pinch of Salt: For a touch of contrast and flavor enhancement, crack a pinch of salt over the tart. This step is optional but highly recommended. A little salt can go a long way in elevating the flavors of your dessert.
Bake to Perfection: Place your roaster in your preheated oven and let it bake for approximately 20 minutes. The even heat distribution of the roaster ensures that your tart bakes perfectly, with a golden, crispy crust and tender, caramelized apples inside.
Pro Tip: Choose the Right Apples
For the best results, consider using tart apples such as Granny Smith, Jonagold, Honey Crisp, Braeburn, or Pink Lady. These apple varieties are slightly acidic, which balances the sweetness of the brown sugar, creating a harmonious and delectable flavor profile.
In just 25 minutes, you'll have a stunning, restaurant-quality dessert that will impress your guests and satisfy your sweet cravings. Enjoy!
