A delicious Apple Tart! I saw the recipe on PW, and after my mom tried it and recommended it, I decided to go for it! But since I'm not feeding a farm full of people, I modified the original recipe a bit! First, I cored and sliced one apple. (I tried to make the slices even, but my knife skills are nowhere NEAR those that I see on Top Chef!) I tossed the slices with a 1/4 cup of brown sugar, the juice from 1/4 of a lemon, and a pinch of kosher salt.
Yes- I used my fingers instead of a spoon- and it was sticky and messy! I set the bowl aside (to let the apples get a little juicier), and focused my attention on the pastry. Since I like a lot of puff, I went ahead and used half a sheet of puff pastry for this tart. I put it on a piece of Pam-ed Reynold's Wrap, and proceeded to lay the apples upon it. (PW placed her apples with the innards facing up, but since mine didn't have a pretty, rounded core area, I tried to conceal it as best I could...)
After baking for 15 minutes in a 415 degree oven, this is what I got:
It was kinda pretty!
And most important- it was delicious! Of course I had a bit a mess when a bit of the sugar juice ran off the pan... but the tinfoil caught most of that for me!
In conclusion, I would recommend baking this scrumptious little treat. It bakes up in no time and is delish right out of the oven!It's a stormy day here in NYC (followed by a really stormy evening with crazy amounts of thunder and lightning)... wherever you are, I hope you're having a good day! Happy Tuesday!
