Upside Down Apple Tart

Step 1

Prepare ingredients:Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C) and prepare a large sheet pan lined with parchment paper.

Step 2

Peel and remove the apple core. Cut the apple into 24 thin slices per half an apple.

Step 3

In a bowl, mix together the brown sugar and spices until evenly combined.

Step 4

For the puff pastry, cut it into 6 equal pieces, about 3in x 4.5in (7.5cm x 11.5cm) each. You may need to slightly roll out the puff pastry sheet and dust off excess flour if needed.

Step 5

Assemble:Place about 1 teaspoon of the spiced brown sugar mixture onto the prepared sheet pan. Top it with 4 slices of apple, slightly shingled, followed by another teaspoon or so of the spiced brown sugar. Lastly place a sheet of the puff pastry on top. Press the edges down and use a fork to make indentations along the edges. Repeat with remaining apple slices, brown sugar, and puff pastry.

Step 6

Optional: Brush the tops of each puff pastry with egg wash and top with some turbinado sugar.

Step 7

Bake:Bake the apple puff pastry for about 18 to 20 minutes or until the tops of the puff pastries are golden brown.

Step 8

Remove the pastries from the oven and let them cool for a couple of minutes. Flip the pastries over and enjoy warm by themselves or with a scoop of ice cream!
