Delight in these easy-to-make Salted Caramel Apple Tarts featuring flaky puff pastry topped with tender granny smith apples, cinnamon sugar, and a luscious drizzle of salted caramel sauce. Perfect for a quick dessert or snack, these tarts combine sweet and tart flavors with a hint of saltiness for an irresistible treat.

Ingredients

Puff Pastry and Apples

  • 2 frozen puff pastry sheets, cut into thirds
  • 3 large granny smith apples, sliced into 1/4-inch thick half moon shapes

Seasoning

  • 3 tablespoons granulated sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon

Topping

  • Salted caramel sauce for drizzling

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 400 °F (204 °C) and prepare large rimmed baking sheets by lining them with parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking.
  2. Arrange apples on pastry: Lay the sliced granny smith apples over each puff pastry sheet evenly. It’s fine if the slices overlap slightly as they will cook down and meld together.
  3. Make cinnamon sugar: In a small bowl, mix granulated sugar and ground cinnamon thoroughly to create a cinnamon sugar blend.
  4. Sprinkle cinnamon sugar: Lightly sprinkle the cinnamon sugar mixture over the apple-covered puff pastry sheets to add sweetness and warmth.
  5. Bake the tarts: Place the prepared tarts onto the baking sheets and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed up and has turned a lovely golden brown color.
  6. Rest and drizzle caramel: After baking, let the tarts rest for 10 minutes to cool slightly and set. Then, generously drizzle salted caramel sauce over the top of each tart.
  7. Serve: Serve the salted caramel apple tarts immediately for the best flavor and texture experience.

Notes

  • These apple tarts are best enjoyed the same day as baking as they do not keep well overnight.
  • Use granny smith apples for their tartness which balances well with the sweetness of caramel.
  • For extra crispiness, you can brush the pastry edges with an egg wash before baking.
