Apple tarts

One of the simplest things to make is apple tarts, using pre-made puff pastry dough. Puff pastry dough is exceptionally difficult to make on your own, so you don't need any excuses to buy one. I use Pepperidge Farm puff pastry sheets. (I'm sure we'll meet the puff pastry cups in a later post!)

Thaw the puff pastry sheets and cut them in stripes of about 7.5cm (3in). Slice up an apple and arrange the slices on the dough. (Of course you can also use pears, peaches, or apricots...)

Bake for 15-20minutes at 400F (200C).

Often, the baked apple tarts are covered with confectionary sugar, but this is not really necessary.

I would like to know how to put some almond paste between the dough and the apple slices...
