Caramel Apple and Almond Tart
Created by: Howcan Team
Ingredients
- 1 sheet of frozen puff pastry, thawed
- 3 large apples, peeled, cored, and thinly sliced
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup sliced almonds
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface and transfer it to a 9-inch tart pan. Trim any excess pastry hanging over the edges.
- Arrange the apple slices in a circular pattern over the puff pastry, slightly overlapping each other.
- In a saucepan, heat 1/2 cup of granulated sugar over medium heat, stirring constantly until it melts and turns into a golden caramel color.
- Add 1/4 cup of unsalted butter to the caramel and stir until melted. Carefully pour in 1/4 cup of heavy cream while stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
- Pour the caramel sauce over the arranged apples, making sure to coat them evenly. Sprinkle 1/2 cup of sliced almonds on top.
- Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and the apples are tender.
- Allow the tart to cool for 10 minutes before serving. Enjoy warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
