Apple Strawberry Puff Pastry Tart |
In this case, I am using McIntosh and Gala apples. They are just what I have fresh on hand. Any combination of apples would work. You do you. I am also using fresh strawberries (frozen thawed berries would do if, you I were to drain them first) and one
box of puff pastry.
Roll out one sheet of the puff pastry until it is approx. 12"x12".
Cut that sheet in half.
Spray your baking sheet with nonstick cooking spray.
In a large mixing bowl combine apples, strawberries, 1 tsp cinnamon, 1/4 cup of sugar, a pinch of salt, 2 Tbsp flour, and a dash of nutmeg. Gently fold all of these ingredients together. You don't want to mash up those strawberries!
Spoon the mixture out onto the puff pastry leaving about a half inch of pastry showing all the way around. Beat one egg and brush that onto the exposed edges of the pastry. Bake at 400° for 20 minutes or until puff pastry is golden brown.
NOTE: I try not to make too many sweets in my house. The more I make, the more they will eat. So, in this case, I only used one of the two sheets of pastry that come in the box. I put the other in a freezer bag right back into the freezer. I also had enough of the fruit and seasoning mixture to make 2 tarts again at a later date!
