Description
You’ll love this Easy Apple Tart Recipe! So fresh, simple & ready to enjoy in less than 30 minutes!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 sheet puffed pastry, cut lengthwise into half or thirds (to make long, skinny rectangles)
- 3 apples, cored, halved vertically, and sliced super-thin (but not peeled)
- 1 Tbsp. lemon juice
- 1/2 cup brown sugar
- 1/2 tsp. cinnamon
- 1/4 tsp. salt
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 415 degrees.
- Place puffed pastry rectangles onto a baking pan that’s been sprayed with nonstick spray. (To get added pastry height/thickness, you can also layer two rectangles on top of each other.) Add brown sugar, cinnamon, lemon juice and salt to apples. (Note: lemon juice helps to prevent cut apple wedges from browning.) Stir to combine. Allow to sit for a few minutes.
- Arrange apple slices on the pastry rectangles in a straight line, overlapping as you go. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes, or until pastry is puffed and golden brown.
- Remove from pan immediately and place on a serving platter. Serve plain, with caramel topping, whipped cream, ice cream, or a sprinkling of powdered sugar.

I’ve made these too – they’re great! I like your cream cheese (or even mascarpone!) idea too.
I’ve made these too, but with homemade puff pastry. The next time I make them, I’m going to remove the apple skin and added a cinnamon-powdered sugar glaze to it. It was really good as is, though. Beautiful photos!!
Hi Memoria,
Wow – I so admire you with the homemade puff pastry! I have yet to attempt that. :) But I’m sure the cinnamon-powdered glaze would be amazing with this too! If you give it a go, feel free to post the glaze recipe you use on here — I (and I’m sure others!) would love to give it a try!

These look great! Especially like the addition of cinnamon. They’re definitely on my “to-try” list.

My Goodness! I think I’ve made a New Friend! I have some spples and was searching for a ‘good~n~easy recipe’ because, like many of you, I love EASY :)
One Question though. You didn’t specify the apples and I’m making my puff pastry because I just love making my kitchen messy! haha!
Thank you for the recipe and Do go look at my website. I’d love some traffic and feedback :) You have been added to My ‘Special Websites’.
Love this recipe because it is so easy and versatile ! Because it’s fall, I added a dash of cloves with the cinnamon. For apples, I used a combination of Granny Smith, Cortland, and Gala apples. I took a bit of the leftover apple juices and about 1/2 tbsp of vanilla and mixed them into the cream cheese which I layered on the puff pastry before adding the apples. While the tarts were cooking, I used the rest of the apple juices to create an apple rum sauce.
I’m making these right now! I can’t wait to taste them! On the last one i’m going to spread cream cheese beneath the apples.
Oh these are so easy and pretty! I second your recommendation to double the puff pastry for a deeper nest.
