Equipment

  • 1 baking sheet
  • 1 medium bowl
  • 1 sharp knife or mandoline
  • 1 pastry brush
  • 1 spoon or spatula
  • 1 parchment paper

Ingredients
  

For the tart

  • 1 package puff pastry ready to use
  • 4 apples
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • 2 teaspoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour

For finishing

  • 2 tablespoon honey extra for finishing
  • 1 egg yolk
  • 1 tablespoon milk

Instructions
 

  • Unroll the puff pastry on the baking sheet, keeping the base even so it bakes up crisp.
  • Slice the apples into even pieces and toss them with lemon to help prevent excessive browning.
  • Combine the apples with honey, cinnamon, and flour for a balanced filling with less excess liquid.
  • Arrange the filling in the center of the puff pastry, leaving the edges free for a rustic finish.
  • Fold the pastry edges over the apples and brush with egg yolk mixed with milk for better browning.
  • Bake the rustic puff pastry apple tart at 350°F for 30 minutes so the pastry stays crisp.
  • Remove from the oven and finish with honey to enhance the aroma and add natural shine.
