Apple Tart

• 4 small organic gala apples
• 1/2 cup sweetened shredded coconut
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 cup dried cherries
• 1 tsp fresh lemon juice
• 1 tbsp ground cinnamon
• 1 sheet thawed puffed pastry
• 1 tsp heavy cream

1. First thaw puffed pastry in refrigerator overnight.
2. You want to keep this pastry cold until just needed.
3. Using a mandolin slicer, slice apples thin.
4. You may core apples before slicing but I find the small organic apples have such small seeds, that once sliced I just remove them.
5. In a bowl mix all other filling ingredients, toss, then add apples and toss again.
6. Remove pastry from refrigerator and roll out to 1/8 " thickness lengthwise.
7. On a parchment lined baking tray, place apples in a row overlapping each other.
8. Continue to cover pastry.
9. Leave 1/4" edge without apples.
10. If you have extra apples just place in a nice pattern over initial layer.
11. Brush edges with cream.
12. Bake in a preheated 425F fahrenheit oven for 20 minutes.
13. Edges should be a nice golden brown.
14. Let cool 5 minutes before transferring to serving platter.
15. Top with fresh whipped cream or next to a delicious scoop of vanilla ice cream.
