Puff Pastry Tart with Plums and Dried Fruits Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 sheet of puff pastry, thawed
• 4-5 ripe plums, thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup mixed dried fruits (such as apricots, raisins, and cranberries)
• 2 tablespoons raw sugar
• 1 tablespoon cornstarch
• 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
• Egg wash (1 egg beaten with 1 tablespoon water)

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
2. Roll out the puff pastry into a rectangle that is about 1/8 inch thick. Place the puff pastry onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
3. In a small bowl, combine the raw sugar, cornstarch, and ground cinnamon. Set aside.
4. Arrange the thinly sliced plums onto the puff pastry, leaving about a 1-inch border around the edges.
5. Sprinkle the mixed dried fruits over the sliced plums.
6. Sprinkle the sugar mixture over the plums and dried fruits.
7. Gently fold the edges of the puff pastry over, creating a crust around the plums and dried fruits. Brush the crust with the egg wash.
8. Bake the puff pastry tart in the oven for 25-30 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the fruit is tender.
9. Let the puff pastry tart cool for a few minutes before slicing and serving.
