Preparation

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F.

On lightly floured surface roll out half of puff pastry dough into a 9 inch square. Cut dough into four 4 1/2 inch squares; place on baking sheet. Repeat with remaining dough.

In large bowl toss apple slices with lemon juice. In small bowl, combine 1 tbsp of the sugar and cinnamon; stir into apples.

Lay apple slices on pastry, overlapping slightly.

Bake in a 400°F oven for 15 minutes; sprinkle remaining 1 tbsp sugar over apples. Return tarts to oven and bake about 10 minutes longer or until pastry is puffed and golden

In small bowl, combine apricot jam and brandy (or orange marmalade and liqueur); brush glaze over warm tarts. Serve warm or at room temperature.
