This tart is based on the free-form French pie technique known as "galette." Normally a galette is made with pate brisee, which is a standard pie crust. I use a sheet of store-bought puff pastry rolled out to the size of a baking sheet. It's incredibly easy to do and creates an impressive presentation that will wow your guests -- and you! I am sharing the recipe for an apple-blueberry tart flavored with cinnamon sugar. The opposite flavor profile, but equally delicious, would include dijon mustard, sliced turkey or ham, and a sprinkling of excellent gruyere cheese. Any and everything in between would be delicious.
Puff Pastry Tart
Serves 6
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 20 minutes
- 1 sheet store bought puff pastry, rolled roughly to the size of a baking sheet
- 2 granny smith apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup fresh blueberries, raspberries, or blackberries
- 2 tbsp. white sugar
- 1 tsp ground cinnamon
Pre-heat your oven to 425 degrees. Roll your puff pastry to roughly the size of your baking pan on a large sheet of parchment paper. Leaving a 1-inch border, arrange the apples neatly on the dough. Sprinkle over the berries. Dust with the cinnamon sugar.
Bake for 20 minutes or until the pastry is risen and the apples are soft. Allow to rest for 10 minutes, slice, and serve.
