apple & cinnamon puff pastry tartlets

Although I don’t have much of a sweet tooth, on Sunday nights we usually crave a little something sweet.

These are so easy to make, you can have them ready in half an hour. Serve them with ice cream or whipped cream, or make some extra sauce to drizzle over before serving. Or better yet, ice cream and sauce!

Ingredients
  

  • 3 apples
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 4 tbsp brown sugar
  • 1 tsp cinnamon
  • 2 tsp caramel essence
  • 1 sheet puff pastry

To serve:

  • fresh cream
  • icing sugar

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 190 C
  • Add butter to a large skillet over medium heat. Add the apples and cook for about two minutes before adding the sugar. Cook for a minute then add the cinnamon and caramel essence. Cook for another minute or two until apples have softened and the sugar and butter have caramelized into a syrup consistency. Remove from heat, set aside and let cool.
  • Roll out the puff pastry onto a floured surface. Cut in half, then cut those halves into 4 squares each. Line a baking tray with baking paper and place the squares onto the paper.
  • Fold the edges in, roughly 1cm, then place the apples across the squares, 8 to 9 slices each. Once all the apple has been placed onto the puff pastry, drizzle some of the syrup left in the pan over each square. Place in the oven and bake for 20 minutes.
  • Remove from oven, drizzle with a little fresh cream and give it a dusting of icing sugar. Enjoy!
