Ingredients
- 8-12 tsp liquid honey
- 1 sheet pre made frozen puff pastry, defrosted
- 2-3 apricots, sliced into 5-6 slices each
- 10-15 thin slices of pear
- 2-3 sliceds of brie cheese
- 4-6 tsp brown sugar
- cinnamon
- 1 egg + splash of water for an egg wash
- coarse or regular sugar
- chopped walnuts, fresh thyme and whipped cream for serving
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400F and line a large sheet pan with parchment paper.
- Lay out the sheet of puff pastry and cut into 4-6 rectangles.
- Drizzle 2 tsp of honey per rectangle onto the parchment paper. Layer 5-6 apricot slices over the honey, then sprinkle over 1 tsp brown sugar and a pinch of cinnamon. Repeat with thin slices of pear and make 2-3 tarts of each kind.
- Layer on one of the rectangles of puff pastry over top each pile you've made and use the prongs of a fork to press down around the rectangle. Repeat with the remaining pastry.
- Brush the egg wash over top of each tart, sprinkle with sugar (if desired) and then bake in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the puff pastry is nicely browned.
- Remove from the oven and let cool on the baking sheet for a few minutes. Then, flip over the tarts onto a plate and serve with whipped cream, chopped walnuts and fresh thyme. Enjoy!
Notes
- If you don't measure the ingredients perfectly, don't fret! The 'formula' for these tarts is generally the same so a simple drizzle of honey works with any number of sliced fruits.
- Make sure the puff pastry is fully defrosted before using. If it still has a bit of a chill, let it sit out for about 5-10 minutes before using.
- What if my puff pastry comes in a square instead of a sheet? Some frozen puff pastry brands are sold in a tight packaged square. So, follow the defrosting instructions and then roll out the pastry in an 8x10 or 10-x12 inch rectangle before making this recipe, about 1/4 inch thick.
