Calories: 231kcal
Ingredients
- 1 sheet puff pastry
- 1-2 apples, cored + very thinly sliced amount depends on size of apples and how thinly they're sliced
- 4 ounces Brie (about half of one standard size wheel), thinly sliced
- 3 tablespoons dried currants (Zante raisins)
- 1 tablespoon cold butter, diced into small pieces
- 1 egg, beaten (optional)
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
- powdered sugar (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425°F.
- Lay puff pastry on parchment paper or a silicone baking sheet. Cut into 9 equal-sized pieces.Tip: This recipe was written for refrigerated puff pastry. If using frozen puff pastry, thaw before using, rolled out to ¼" thickness.
- Move the parchment paper and pastry dough onto a baking sheet, leaving a space between each piece of pastry. You may need to use two baking sheets.
- Use a butter knife to draw a shallow border (about ½" wide) along the edge of each piece of dough. Make sure not to cut all the way through the pastry!
- Add a single layer of Brie on each pastry, leaving the border empty.
- Sprinkle the currants over the Brie, dividing them evenly over each pastry.
- Add about 4 slices of apple to each pastry, fanning them decoratively across the cheese and dried currants.
- Dot the tops of the pastries with the diced butter.
- Use a pastry brush to brush the beaten egg along the pastry borders. Tip: Take care not to let egg drip onto the sides of the tartlets, because it will seal the puff pastry and prevent it from rising.
- Bake about 15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden.
- Drizzle the honey over the center of the tarts.
- Move the tarts to a wire cooling rack, and cool for about 5 minutes. Serve warm. Dust with powdered sugar if desired (optional).
- Leftovers: This tart is best eaten right away, but leftovers can be stored in the fridge 1-2 days. To help the pastry crisp up again, pop it back in the oven for 3-5 minutes.
Notes
Make Ahead: The tartlets can be assembled without the apples up to one day ahead. Wrap tarts tightly, refrigerate, and add apple slices right before baking.
Leftovers: This tartlets are best eaten right away, but leftovers will still be good! To help the pastry crisp up again, pop it back in the oven for 3-5 minutes.
