Ingredients:
- 2 sheets frozen puff pastry, defrosted
- 6 Granny Smith apples
- 2 lemons
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon
- 1 stick salted butter
- caramel sauce, for topping
Preheat oven to 425 degrees Fahrenheit. Cut apples into thin slices and add to a large bowl.
Zest and juice the lemons into the bowl. Add the granulated sugar and cinnamon.
Stir to combine.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Unroll puff pastry and cut the sheet into four pieces and place on baking sheet. Arrange 10-12 apple slices on each square of puff pastry. Be sure to leave a 1/2-inch border of dough on all sides!
Top the apples with a few pieces of butter. These babies are ready for the oven!
Bake for 16-18 minutes, until puffed and golden brown.
Top with caramel sauce.
And there you have it — the easiest apple tart!
