I stole this recipe for Simple Puff Pastry Apple Tart from littledairyontheprairie.com. This fancy looking dessert is actually very easy to make. A sheet of puff pastry is thawed and a border is scored along the edges. Beaten egg is then brushed on the pastry sheet. Sliced apples are mixed with butter, cinnamon, salt and brown sugar. Then the sliced apples are arranged in rows inside the border of the puff pastry. Next the pastry is baked until golden and apples are tender. Powdered sugar finishes this delicious apple dessert. Just make sure to use the apples before they go bad!
