Best Baking Tips; Ingredient Tips!
Puff pastry is a type of dough that is made from flour, water, butter, and salt. The dough is rolled out and then folded several times to create layers. Puff pastry can be used to make a variety of sweet and savory dishes, including tarts, pies, and pastries.
When making caramel apple puff pastry tarts, it is important to use a good quality puff pastry dough. I like to use a brand that is made with all-natural ingredients and does not contain any preservatives or artificial flavors. Puff pastry dough can usually be found in the freezer section of your local grocery store.
In addition to puff pastry dough, you will need almond paste, granny smith apples, and caramel sauce. Almond paste is a thick paste that is made from ground almonds, sugar, and egg whites. It has a sweet, nutty flavor that pairs well with the apples and caramel. Granny smith apples are my favorite type of apple to use in this recipe because they are tart and have a firm texture. However, you can use any type of apple that you prefer. Caramel sauce is used to top the tarts before they are baked. You can either make your own caramel sauce or use a store-bought variety. If you are using store-bought caramel sauce, I recommend choosing one that is made with real ingredients and does not contain any artificial flavors or colors.

- 1 package puff pastry
Almond Cream
- ½ cup almond paste
- ⅛ tsp kosher salt

Instructions
Let's Begin!
Pastry
- Take one half of the pastry and place on a lightly floured surface and roll into a 9 inch square. Cut the square into thirds and then cut each third in half. Repeat with the second half of puff pastry.
- Place the pastries on two parchment lined baking sheets. Place in the freezer for about 10-15 minutes or until the puff pastry becomes firm.
Almond Cream
- In a medium bowl, beat together the almond paste, sugar, salt, egg, butter, and vanilla extract until well combined.
- Then, with an offset spatula or knife, spread a thin layer of Almond cream (about 1 tablespoon) on each pastry, leaving about a quarter inch border. Cover and refrigerate the pastries while you prepare the apples.
Filling
- Preheat oven to 400°F.
- Peel and cut the apples into thin slices. Place in a large bowl and toss with the sugar and ground cinnamon.
- Remove the puff pastry from the refrigerator and lay the apple slices on top of the almond cream, overlapping the slices.
- Bake for about 18 - 23 minutes or until the apples are slightly browned and tender and the puff pastry is golden brown.
- Remove from oven and place on a wire rack. If desired, dust the tops of the Pastry Tarts with powdered sugar or a drizzle of caramel sauce.
- Serve and enjoy with family and friends!
