My daughter Grace made pot roast and I kind of invited us over for dinner... She then serves this incredibly delicious Apple Almond Tart with Amaretto Whipped Cream that she made up. Seriously good!

Prep: 20 mins
Cook: 40 mins
Yields: 6 Servings

Ingredients

1 sheet frozen puff pastry, about 10 by 14 inches, thawed

½ cup almond paste

2 pink lady apples, sliced thin

2 tablespoons brown sugar

3 tablespoons toasted almond slices

Powdered sugar, optional

Amaretto Whipped Cream

½ cup heavy cream

3 Tablespoons amaretto

3 Tablespoons powdered sugar

Directions

1Position a rack in the upper third of an oven and preheat to 425° F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.

2On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the puff pastry into a 16-by-12-inch rectangle (it should just fit onto the baking sheet). Transfer to the prepared pan, fold over the edges of the pastry to form a rim and pinch the edges together.

3Prick the chilled puff pastry all over with a fork. Bake until it looks dried out and very lightly browned, about 8 minutes. Remove from the oven and reduce the oven temperature to 350° F. Smear a thin, even layer of the almond paste on top of the pastry and then top evenly with the sliced apples and brown sugar. Bake until the tart is golden and the apples are crisp-tender, about 30 minutes. Remove the tart from the oven and sprinkle the almonds on top. Allow to cool slightly before adding with whipped cream and dusting with powdered sugar.

Amaretto Whipped Cream
