Rustic Apple Tart
- Flour, for work surface
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry (from a 17.3-ounce package), thawed but not unfolded
- 3 Granny Smith apples
- 1/3 cup sugar
- 1 large egg yolk beaten with 1 teaspoon water, for egg wash
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons apple jelly or apricot jam
- Preheat the oven to 375F.
- On a lightly floured work surface, roll out the pastry sheet (still folded) to an 8-by-14-inch rectangle.
- Trim the edges with a sharp paring knife.
- Transfer to a baking sheet; place in the freezer.
- Peel, core, and slice the apples 1/4 inch thick.
- Toss in a large bowl with the sugar.
- Brush the pastry with the egg wash, avoiding the edges.
- Use a sharp paring knife to score a 3/4-inch border around the pastry (do not cut all the way through).
- Place the apples inside the border, and dot with the butter.
- Bake until the pastry is golden and the apples are tender, 30 to 35 minutes.
- In the microwave or a small saucepan, heat the jelly with 1 tablespoon water until melted.
- Brush the apples with the glaze.
- Serve the tart warm or at room temperature, cutting into pieces with a serrated knife.
- Store-bought frozen puff pastry sometimes cracks along seams when unfolded.
- To prevent this, leave the pastry folded when you roll it.
