INSTRUCTIONS

Tart

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Allow pastry to sit out for 5 minutes at room temperature or until it can be unfolded without breaking. Unfold and place on top of a piece of parchment paper.

In a large bowl, toss the apple slices with ¼ cup brown sugar and lemon juice. Let mixture rest 10 minutes, tossing every few minutes.

Cut the puff pastry sheet into 9 equal squares. Roll out each square into a 4.5 x 3.5 - inch rectangle using a rolling pin.

Space the pastry pieces out evenly on prepared baking sheet. Prick each pastry piece well with a fork

Preheat oven to 375°F.

Drain then shingle the apple slices in overlapping rows to the edges of each piece of pastry dough. Repeat until all of the pastry is covered with apple slices. Sprinkle 1/4 teaspoon of additional brown sugar over the tops of each pastry.

Chill prepared pastries in the refrigerator for 10 minutes then bake 40 minutes or until edges and bottoms are golden brown.

Remove from oven and cool to room temperature before serving.
