Puff Pastry Tart with Apple Blossoms: Gourmet Recipe

Ingredients:

• 1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
• 3-4 medium sized green apples
• 1/4 cup granulated sugar
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
• 1 tablespoon cinnamon powder
• 1/4 cup honey
• 1/4 cup apricot jam

Directions:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Peel, core and thinly slice the apples. Roll out the puff pastry sheet onto a baking sheet covered with parchment paper. Using a knife, score a 1cm border around the edges of the puff pastry sheet. Make slight incisions in the center of the sheet. Brush melted butter on the scored border.
3. Arrange the apple slices in a fan-like manner, slightly overlapping each other. Sprinkle granulated sugar and cinnamon powder over the apple slices. Drizzle honey over the top.
4. Bake the tart in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender. Once it’s done, mix together the apricot jam and 1 tablespoon of water in a small saucepan over low heat. Brush apricot mixture over the tart. Serve warm or at room temperature.

This puff pastry tart with apple blossoms is a delicate and delicious dessert that is sure to impress the crowd. The combination of the crispy puff pastry, tender honey-drizzled apple slices and a sweet apricot glaze is simply mouth-watering.
