Mini Honey Apple Tarts
Yield: 8-12 servings
Cook Time: 12-14 minutes
Tips: Choose apples about 2 3/4 inches in height so they will comfortably fit into 2 3/4-inch puff pastry circles. After apple tarts have cooled, they may be sprinkled with powdered sugar after drizzling honey, if desired.
Suggestion: Serve as little individual desserts or as a fruit snack or appetizer.

Recipe▼
Ingredients
- 1 sheet frozen puff pastry, thawed and ready to use
- 1 to 2 apples (skins on), cored and cut into thin slices (about 3/16 inch)
- 1/4 cup sugar
- 2 teaspoons ground cinnamon
- honey (for drizzling after baking)
Directions
Preheat oven to 400° F.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Open the puff pastry sheet onto a work area. Using a 2 3/4-inch cookie cutter, cut rounds out of the puff pastry and arrange them on the prepared baking sheet 1 to 2 inches apart. Place three apple slices on each pastry circle. In a small mixing bowl, whisk together sugar and cinnamon, then sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of this mixture evenly over each tart.
Place tarts in oven and bake until the puff pastry turns golden-brown around the edges and apples become slightly tender (12-14 minutes). Drizzle honey over baked tarts, then transfer parchment paper with tarts to a cooling rack. Cool tarts before serving.
