Apple Tarts
- 1 sheet (1/2 pound) frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 1 granny smith apple
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter, cut into bits
- 2 tablespoons apricot jam, heated and strained
- vanilla ice cream or whipped cream for topping
- Roll out the pastry 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured surface, cut out two 7 inch rounds and transfer them to a baking sheet. Peel, halve lengthwise and core the apple, slice it thin crosswise and arrange the slices, overlapping them slightly on the pastry rounds. In a small bowl stir together the sugar and the cinnamon, sprinkle the mixture evenly over the apples, and dot the tarts with the butter. Bake the tarts in the middle of a preheated oven at 400 degrees for 25 minutes or until the pastry is golden brown. Transfer the tarts to a rack, brush them with the jam and serve them warm with ice cream or whip cream.
