These little pastry tarts are delicious and easy to make. I usually cook a whole bunch of quinces and preserve them.

Time 1h25m

Yield 8

Number Of Ingredients 8

5 cups water
2 cups white sugar
½ lemon, sliced
½ vanilla bean, slit lengthwise
2 ¼ pounds quinces - peeled, cored, and sliced
1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed
4 tablespoons fat-free plain Greek-style yogurt (such as Fage® 0%)
3 tablespoons apple jelly, or as needed

Steps:

  • Combine water and sugar in a saucepan and bring to a boil. Once sugar has dissolved, add lemon slices and vanilla bean. Add quinces, cover, and simmer until soft, but still holding together, about 45 minutes. Remove from heat and allow to cool completely. Remove and discard vanilla bean and lemon; drain quince slices and refrigerate.
  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Unroll puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and cut into 8 squares.
  • Stir Greek yogurt until creamy and place 1/2 tablespoon in the middle of each puff pastry square. Place 5 to 6 drained quince slices on top, overlapping slightly, leaving a little room around the edges. Press dough edges up to contain filling. Place squares on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Warm apple jelly in the microwave for 30 seconds and brush quince slices with jelly.
  • Bake in the preheated oven until puff pastry has risen and is golden brown, about 20 minutes. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.

I've never had quince before, but these squares were a great way to try it. I'll definitely be making them again.

These squares are a great way to introduce people to quince. They're not too sweet or tart, and the puff pastry is a nice touch.

I'm not a fan of quince, but these squares were still pretty good. The puff pastry was especially good.

These squares are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling.

The quince filling is a bit runny, but that's to be expected. The squares are still delicious and easy to eat.

These squares are a great way to use up leftover quince. They're also a great make-ahead dessert.

These were so easy to make and turned out so delicious! I used store-bought puff pastry to save time, and it worked out great.

Absolutely scrumptious! The quince filling was perfectly balanced between sweet and tart, and the puff pastry was flaky and golden brown. A real winner!
