I love Fall, everything about it. Unfortunately, I live in Los Angeles where you have to light a damn cinnamon candle and ask Alexa to play the sound of windy leaves to even conjure up the idea of fall. I recently bought two of these rectangular tart pans with removable bottoms. If I have a larger crowd I make two different tarts. This Apple Tart is easy to make using frozen puff pastry, which is something I ALWAYS have in the freezer.

Prep: 10 mins
Cook: 30 mins
Yields: 6 Servings

Ingredients

Rectangular tart pan

1 sheet puff pastry thawed

3 - 4 large granny smith apples, peeled and sliced in cubes

2 tablespoons butter softened

½ cup brown sugar

½ teaspoon ground ginger

½ ground nutmeg

2 teaspoon cinnamon

1½ teaspoon orange liqueur

Directions

1Preheat oven to 400° F.

2Place puffed pastry rectangles or sheet onto a baking pan that’s been sprayed with nonstick spray. Shape pastry to fit pan.

3In a saucepan, add butter, apples, sugar, ginger, nutmeg, and cinnamon. Cook over medium heat for about 8 minutes until the apples have released some of their juice and form a small amount of applesauce. Add orange liqueur, stir and cook for 1 minute. Remove from heat.

4Spread mixture onto the tart. Sprinkle the dough with brown sugar and ground cinnamon. Bake for 20 - 30 minutes, or until puff pastry is puffed and golden brown.

5Remove from pan immediately and place on a serving platter. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream.
