Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 sheet frozen puff pastry (half of 17.3-ounce package), thawed
1 egg, beaten to blend (for glaze)
8 tablespoons apricot preserves
1 Golden Delicious apple (6 ounces), peeled, cored, very thinly sliced
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Dried currants
Vanilla ice cream

Steps:

  • Position oven rack in middle of oven and preheat to 400°F. Mix 2 tablespoons sugar and 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon in small bowl. Unfold thawed puff pastry on lightly floured baking sheet. Brush some of egg glaze over 1-inch border of pastry on all sides. Fold 1-inch border over to form raised edge on all sides; press edge to adhere. Using sharp knife, make 1/2-inch-long cuts all around pastry edge, spacing 1/2 inch apart. Pierce center of pastry (not edge) all over with fork. Spread 2 tablespoons apricot preserves over center of pastry. Arrange apple slices atop apricot preserves in 3 rows, overlapping apples and fitting tightly together. Brush pastry edge with some of egg glaze. Sprinkle cinnamon-sugar mixture over apples and pastry edge.
  • Bake tart until apples are tender and pastry is brown, about 30 minutes. Transfer tart to rack.
  • Meanwhile, mix remaining 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon, remaining 6 tablespoons apricot preserves, 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice and 1 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter in small sauce-pan. Stir apricot sauce over medium heat until melted and hot.
  • Lightly dab some of apricot sauce over apples. Sprinkle with dried currants. Cut warm tart into 4 squares. Top each square with scoop of vanilla ice cream. Drizzle remaining apricot sauce over ice cream and serve.

This tart is a great way to use up leftover apples. It's also a great dessert to make for a crowd.

I've tried other apple tart recipes before, but this one is by far the best. It's the perfect balance of sweet and tart.

I'm allergic to nuts, so I used a gluten-free flour blend and it turned out great!

I didn't have any currants, so I used raisins instead. The tart still tasted great.
