Yield Makes 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 19

Filling:
2 pounds Pink Lady apples, peeled, cored, cut into 1/2-inch cubes (about 8 cups)
1 cup dried tart cherries
1/2 cup (packed) golden brown sugar
1/4 cup fresh orange juice
3 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon finely grated lemon peel
1/2 teaspoon finely grated orange peel
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/4 teaspoon ground cloves
Pinch of coarse kosher salt
2 tablespoons brandy
Phyllo:
16 14 x 9-inch sheets frozen regular phyllo pastry or whole wheat phyllo pastry, thawed
1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, melted
1/2 cup (about) golden brown sugar, divided
Ingredient info: Whole wheat phyllo dough is available in the frozen foods section of Whole Foods markets and some natural foods stores.

Steps:

  • For filling:
  • Combine apples and next 11 ingredients in heavy large saucepan. Cook over medium heat until apples are tender, stirring frequently, 30 to 35 minutes. Add brandy and simmer until brandy is absorbed and apples are very tender, about 7 minutes longer. Cool apple mixture completely. DO AHEAD: Filling can be made 2 days ahead. Cover and chill.
  • For phyllo:
  • Line 2 large rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone liners. Place phyllo stack on work surface; cover with plastic wrap, then damp kitchen towel. Remove 1 phyllo sheet from stack and place on work surface; brush lightly with some of melted butter. Top with second phyllo sheet; brush lightly with melted butter. Fold phyllo in half, forming 9x7-inch rectangle. Brush lightly with melted butter and sprinkle with 2 teaspoons brown sugar; using fingers, distribute sugar evenly over phyllo. Fold phyllo in half again, forming 7 x 4 1/2-inch rectangle. Brush with butter and transfer phyllo rectangle to 1 prepared baking sheet. Using fingers, gently push in corners of phyllo pastry and fold up sides of crust, creating rustic irregular pastry shell with 2 3/4- to 3-inch plain center and 1/2-inch-high sides. Brush pastry shell lightly with melted butter. Repeat procedure with remaining phyllo sheets, melted butter, and brown sugar, placing 4 phyllo pastry shells on each prepared baking sheet, spacing apart. DO AHEAD: Phyllo pastry shells can be made 1 day ahead. Cover loosely with plastic wrap and refrigerate.
  • Position rack in center of oven and preheat to 375°F. Divide apple filling among phyllo pastry shells (about 1/3 to scant 1/2 cup for each). Brush filling lightly with melted butter. Sprinkle 1 teaspoon brown sugar over apple filling on each. Bake until phyllo is golden brown, 20 to 22 minutes. Cool tartlets on baking sheets on racks until just warm, about 20 minutes. Serve slightly warm or at room temperature.

Tips:

  • Choose the right apples: Use firm, tart apples for baking, such as Granny Smith, Braeburn, or Honeycrisp. These apples will hold their shape and not become too mushy when baked.
  • Peel and slice the apples thinly: This will help them cook evenly and become tender.
  • Use a good quality puff pastry: This will make your tartlets light and flaky. You can either make your own puff pastry or buy it pre-made.
  • Don't overfill the tartlets: The apples will release a lot of liquid as they bake, so don't fill the tartlets more than 2/3 full.
  • Bake the tartlets until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender: This will usually take about 20-25 minutes.
  • Let the tartlets cool slightly before serving: This will help the filling to set.
  • Serve the tartlets with a dollop of whipped cream or ice cream: This will add a delicious finishing touch.

Conclusion:

Apple tartlets are a classic dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a few simple tips, you can make delicious apple tartlets that will impress your friends and family.

These tips and conclusion will help ensure your apple tartlets turn out perfect every time.
