Apple Puff Pastry Tart (+ $100 Visa Gift Card Giveaway)

This simple and elegant Apple Puff Pastry Tart is made with buttery puff pastry and topped with crisp apples tossed in cinnamon, sugar, lemon zest and vanilla bean. Top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an unbelievable dessert you won’t be able to resist.

I love puff pastry and I love apples. Put them together and it’s a match made in heaven.

Puff pastry has so many uses. From sweet to savory dishes you can easily create a variety of dishes with it. I always have a package of puff pastry in my freezer to use in a variety of my recipes.

This Apple Puff Pastry Tart is simplicity at its finest. You simply thaw the puff pastry and place it on a parchment or silicone lined baking sheet. Toss sliced RubyFrost Apples with cinnamon, sugar, lemon zest and my secret ingredient vanilla bean together and arrange them on top of the puff pastry. After about 30 minutes you have a gorgeous dessert to slice and serve. How simple is that?

RubyFrost apples are the perfect combination of sweet and tart. These crisp New York State winter apples can be found in major retailers in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. I guarantee you will fall in love with these juicy apples. They are great for snacking, to use in baking and make a great addition to this Apple Puff Pastry Tart.

I love to make this tart for brunch or to serve as an elegant dessert with friends.  I love to pair it with a crisp and refreshing white wine. You can even add a scoop of vanilla ice cream for an amazing dessert everyone will enjoy.
