🍎 Easy Puff Pastry Apple Tarts

🔪 Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:

   • Preheat to 400°F (200°C).

   • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. Prepare Apples:

   • In a bowl, toss sliced apples with lemon juice, cinnamon, and sugar. Set aside.

3. Prepare Puff Pastry:

   • Unfold the puff pastry sheet and cut into 6 rectangles or squares.

   • Score a small border (about 1/4 inch) around the edge of each piece using a knife (don’t cut all the way through).

   • Prick the centers with a fork to keep them from puffing too much.

4. Assemble Tarts:

   • Arrange apple slices in overlapping rows inside the scored border.

   • Brush melted butter over the apples and edges of the pastry.

5. Bake:

   • Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crisp.

6. Glaze (Optional):

   • Warm a spoonful of honey or apricot jam and brush over the apples for a glossy finish.

7. Serve:

   • Enjoy warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
