Easy Apple Tart

The kids are craving for apple pie and the store bought ain't satisfying them. Apple pie seems a little too much for me tonight so I thought of baking an apple tart instead. It's easy peasy and ready in less than an hour.

When I went to the grocers to get the ingredients for tonight's dinner, I also bought some frozen puff pastry squares. I let it thaw in the kitchen counter before laying them in a baking sheet and then brushing with some egg wash and scoring the sides. Scoring all four side half an inch from the edge of the pastry will make the side puff up. Here is Mica applying the egg wash on all five squares.

Here is our homemade apple tart. It smells divine and taste great.

This recipe has 6 ingredients and the frozen puff pastry is your cheat here.
