Puff pastry is the star of this recipe, providing a light and flaky texture that elevates the dish. Made from layers of dough and butter, puff pastry rises beautifully when baked, creating a delicate, airy crust that cradles the filling. It’s important to use high-quality puff pastry for the best results, whether you choose to make it from scratch or opt for store-bought. The key to working with puff pastry is to keep it cold, which helps maintain its flaky layers.

Ingredients
  

2 sheets of puff pastry, thawed

2 large apples (such as Honeycrisp or Granny Smith), peeled, cored, and thinly sliced

1 cup Brie cheese, removed from the rind and cut into small pieces

1/4 cup brown sugar

1/4 cup unsalted butter

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 tablespoon lemon juice

1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)

Fresh thyme leaves, for garnish (optional)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Apples: In a mixing bowl, toss the thin apple slices with lemon juice, cinnamon, and brown sugar. Let them sit for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.

      Melt the Butter: In a medium saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Once melted, remove from heat and mix in the remaining brown sugar until combined.

        Assemble the Tarts: Roll out the puff pastry sheets on a lightly floured surface and cut each sheet into four equal squares. Place them on the prepared baking sheet.

          Create the Apple Layer: Arrange the sliced apples in a circle on each puff pastry square, overlapping them slightly. Drizzle the melted butter and brown sugar mixture evenly over the apples.

            Add the Brie: Scatter pieces of Brie cheese on top of the apples, making sure not to cover them completely.

              Egg Wash: Brush the edges of the puff pastry with the beaten egg to give them a beautiful golden color when baked.

                Bake: Place the tarts in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the puff pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender.

                  Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let them cool for a few minutes. If desired, garnish with fresh thyme leaves.

                    Enjoy: Serve warm as a delightful appetizer or dessert, and savor the combination of sweet apples, creamy Brie, and flaky pastry!
