Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
- Slice the apples into thin pieces (about 1/4-inch). Put them in a large bowl, and then add the lemon juice, vanilla extract and brown sugar, tossing to thoroughly combine.
- Unfold the sheet of puff pastry onto the lined baking sheet. Lightly score the dough by cutting a border 1 inch from the edges (do not cut through the pastry). Prick the pastry all over with a fork. Shake off any excess liquid from each apple slice, and then arrange them on the puff pastry inside the border area.
- Whisk together the egg with 1 tablespoon water in a small bowl. Brush the edges of the pastry with the egg wash. Bake the tart until golden and puffed, 15 to 17 minutes.
- Remove the tart from the oven, drizzle it with the caramel sauce and sprinkle it with sea salt if desired. Slice and serve immediately.
EASY CARAMEL APPLE TART
This is a recipe I found on Pillsbury's web site which is easy enough for a weeknight dessert, especially if you premake the crust. You could probably substitue fresh apples for the canned and acheive a wonderful result. I also want to try this with a crust made of gingersnaps.

Steps:
- Prepare the pie crust: Whisk flour and salt together in a large bowl. Add butter and toss until butter pieces are completely separated and coated with flour mixture. Using your hands, work butter into flour mixture until well combined and butter pieces are no larger than a pea. Add 1/4 cup cold water and gently stir with a spatula until completely absorbed. Add remaining 1/4 cup water, 1 tablespoon at a time, gently stirring between each addition, until dough begins to form into a ball. Depending on how humid it is in your kitchen or how hydrated your flour is, you might not need to use all of the water.
- Transfer dough to a clean work surface and gently knead, being careful not to overwork it, until smooth and slightly tacky. Divide dough evenly into 2 pieces. Form each piece into a flat disk and wrap individually in plastic wrap. Chill dough in a refrigerator for at least 1 hour or up to 3 days. If chilled longer than 1 hour, let sit at room temperature at least 15 minutes before rolling.
- While the dough is chilling, prepare the caramel sauce. Heat sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until sugar is completely melted and amber in color, 10 to 15 minutes. Add butter to melted sugar and cook, stirring constantly, until butter is melted and completely combined, about 1 minute.
- Carefully add heavy cream to sugar mixture, stirring constantly, until bubbly, 15 to 30 seconds. Remove saucepan from heat and stir in sea salt. Set caramel sauce aside to cool slightly at room temperature until ready to use.
- Prepare the filling: stir apples, sugar, flour, lemon juice, cornstarch, cinnamon, salt, cloves, and nutmeg together in a large bowl until well combined. Set apple mixture aside at room temperature, uncovered, for 30 minutes.
- Pour apple mixture through a strainer into a large bowl. Set apple mixture aside, and transfer the liquid to a small saucepan. Bring liquid to a boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until thickened. Remove saucepan from heat and set aside at room temperature.
- Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Position oven rack in bottom third of oven.
- Working with one dough disk at a time on a surface lightly dusted with flour, roll each disk into a 1/8-inch thick circle that measures 12 inches in diameter. Place one dough circle in a 9-inch pie pan and gently press dough into the corners and sides of the pan.
- Stir together apples and reduced apple liquid in large bowl; arrange apple mixture in the pie crust, and drizzle with 1/2 cup of the caramel sauce. Place remaining dough circle over apple mixture and press into apple mixture and into edges of pan. Using your fingers, fold edges under and crimp to seal. Brush top and edges of dough with egg and sprinkle with turbinado sugar. Cut eight 1-inch slits in dough with a sharp paring knife to allow steam to escape. Place pie on a rimmed sheet pan.
- Bake in the preheated oven until top is light golden in color, about 20 minutes. Without removing the pie, reduce oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C), and continue baking until dough is deep golden brown and the filling is starting to bubble, about 25 minutes. Gently cover pie with aluminum foil, and continue baking until a knife inserted removes mostly clean, about 25 minutes.
- Remove pie from oven and transfer to a wire rack to cool completely, about 2 hours. Serve pie with remaining caramel sauce, if desired.

Steps:
- Make the pie dough: In a large bowl, mix together the flour and salt. Add the butter and toss to coat each cube with the flour, then smash each piece of butter with your fingers.
- Add the ice water, 1-2 tablespoons at a time, and continue to toss until the dough holds together when pressed between your hands. You may not need all of the water, but if the dough is too dry, add more, 1 teaspoon at a time, as needed. The dough should not be very tacky or sticky.
- Turn the dough onto a clean surface. Work into 2 discs and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
- Make the filling: Melt the butter in a large Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the apples, lemon juice, brown sugar, salt, pumpkin pie spice, and vanilla bean paste. Stir to coat the apples well and cook until they start to soften and release their juices and the sugar dissolves, 5-7 minutes.
- In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water. Pour the slurry over the apples, increase the heat to high, and cook until the juices are boiling and thickened, 3-4 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat and let the filling cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
- Make the apple cider syrup: Add the apple cider to a small saucepan over medium heat. Bring to boil and cook until reduced to 2 tablespoons with the consistency of maple syrup, about 10 minutes. Remove the pot from the heat and let the syrup cool to room temperature.
- Assemble the pie: On a floured surface, roll a disc of pie dough into a 12-inch (30 cm) round, about ¼ inch (6 mm) thick. Transfer to a 9-inch (22 cm) deep dish pie plate.
- Add the apple filling to the crust, along with any accumulated juices from the bottom of the bowl. Drizzle the apple cider syrup on top. Refrigerate while you roll out the other dough.
- Roll out the remaining dough disc to a 12-inch (30 cm) round. Drape over the pie, then pinch the edges together. Trim any excess dough around the edges, then roll the edges under all the way around the pie. Use the knuckle of an index finger on one hand and your index finger and thumb on the other hand to make large crimps around the edges.
- Brush the dough all over with the egg wash. Use a paring knife to cut a few vents in the top to allow steam to escape.
- Transfer the assembled pie to the freezer for 20 minutes, until firm.
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil.
- Place the pie dish on the prepared baking sheet, then transfer to the oven and bake for 80-90 minutes, covering with foil halfway through. Cook until the juices are bubbling and the crust is golden brown. Remove the pie from the oven and let cool for at least 1 hour.
- Meanwhile, make the salted caramel: Add the sugar, water, and corn syrup to a large saucepan over medium-high heat. Bring to a low boil and cook until the sugar dissolves and mixture starts to turn a light copper color, about 10 minutes.
- Remove the pot from the heat and stir in the cream and salt until incorporated. If the caramel seems too thin, return to medium low heat and boil until thickened to your desired consistency, 1-2 minutes. Transfer the caramel to a heat-proof liquid measuring cup and let cool to room temperature, 30-60 minutes.
- Pour the cooled caramel sauce over the pie and garnish with candied pecans.
- Slice and serve.
- Enjoy!

Tips for Making Salted Caramel Apple Tart
- Use a good quality puff pastry. This will make a big difference in the final product. If you can, find a puff pastry that is made with butter, not margarine.
- Don't overwork the dough. When you are rolling out the dough, be careful not to overwork it. This will make the dough tough.
- Chill the dough before baking. This will help to prevent the dough from shrinking in the oven.
- Use a sharp knife to slice the apples. This will help to prevent the apples from breaking apart when you are assembling the tart.
- Don't overcrowd the tart pan. When you are assembling the tart, be sure to leave some space between the apple slices. This will allow the air to circulate and help the tart to cook evenly.
- Bake the tart until the crust is golden brown and the apples are tender. This will usually take about 30-35 minutes.
- Let the tart cool before serving. This will allow the flavors to meld together and the tart to set.
Conclusion
Salted caramel apple tart is a delicious and easy-to-make dessert that is perfect for any occasion. With its flaky crust, tender apples, and salted caramel sauce, this tart is sure to be a hit. So next time you are looking for a special dessert to make, give salted caramel apple tart a try. You won't be disappointed!
