Red Wine-Poached Prune Tart

- 1/2 cup plus 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 pound (3 cups) pitted prunes, halved
- All-purpose flour, for dusting
- 1 box store-bought puff pastry, preferably all butter, thawed, or 1/4 recipe Puff Pastry (page 334)
- 1 large egg, for egg wash

- Transfer to a parchment-lined rimmed baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, combine orange zest and remaining 2 tablespoons sugar; sprinkle evenly over pastry.
- Arrange prunes in rows over pastry, leaving a 1-inch border on all sides.
