Caramel Apple Tart Recipe

Caramel Apple Tart Recipe

  • 1 sheet frozen ready-to-bake puff pastry, defrosted
  • 3 medium Granny Smith apples, peeled and cored
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 14 pieces Werther's Original Caramels, unwrapped
  1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees.
  2. Lay the puff pastry on a parchment paper lined sheet pan. If the pastry has creases in it, roll a rolling pin over it to flatten it out slightly. Cut a large disk from the pastry (it will be about 9 – 10 inch in diameter) using a dinner plate for a pattern. Prick the surface all over with a fork, well.
  3. Bake for 15 to 20 minutes till golden brown on top. Set aside.
  4. Meanwhile, cut each apple into 8 wedges. Heat butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add apples and cook, stirring occasionally 10 minutes or until apples begin to soften. Reduce heat to low and cook an additional 5 minutes or until apples are cooked through. Remove apples from skillet and set aside.
  5. Add the cinnamon and caramels to skillet and melt over low heat, stirring frequently for 5 minutes. Return apples to skillet and fold them into the melted caramel.
  6. Spoon the warm apple mixture over cooked pastry. Tart is best when served the same day.
