This dessert is a classic recipe and much appreciated by all. It doesn't require a lot of material (no dish needed) and its original rectangle shape makes it so easy to cut which makes it a perfect treat to share with the family on any occasion.

As in these other favorite recipe on my blog, like the rustic apple tart or in the popular Apple Pie recipe, the apples are cooked and give a very tasty and melting filling.

How to make the puff pastry apple tart recipe

1. Roll out the dough into a large rectangle to a thickness of 3 mm and cut straight edges with a pizza wheel.
2. Place a layer of applesauce in the center, leaving a small border of dough.
3. Decorate the top of the tart with apple slices (with or without the skin).

Tip: For a nice looking tart, you can arrange your apples in a row, alternating the direction of the apples each time.

Baking the tart

1. Preheat your oven to 357°F / 180°C.
2. Place your tart in the oven and bake for about 30 minutes until the crust is golden brown and the apples are softened.
3. Let your tart cool completely before cutting and serving.

Tip: Sprinkle cane sugar over your entire tart just before baking.

For a glossy tart

1. Make sugar syrup by mixing equal amounts of water and powdered sugar in a saucepan and heat over medium heat for about 5 minutes until syrupy.
2. Apply syrup to top of tart with a pastry brush.
