If baking with pie dough intimidates you, you're going to love how easy this Puff Pastry Apple Tart is that doesn't use traditional pie crust dough. Instead I layer thin apple slices combined with a cinnamon/sugar mixture on top of a single sheet of puff pastry.
This puff pastry recipe will defintely impress your family and friends!
This apple dessert recipe is the perfect easy dessert to serve for any Fall party or gathering you're hosting.
It's even something you could serve for Thanksgiving in place of a traditional apple pie. Especially if you don't enjoy making homemade pie crust for pies.
It makes a beautiful presentation also. Your family and friends will think you purchased the tart from a bakery. If you've never worked with puff pastry before, you need to try this recipe and see how easy it is to use.
