TOASTER OVEN APPLE TART

Steps:

• In a small bowl, mix together the sugar and cinnamon. Brush the tortilla with half of the melted butter and sprinkle it with half of the cinnamon sugar. Toast in the toaster oven until slightly toasted but not browned, about 3 minutes. Arrange the apple slices on the tortilla in a fan shape. Brush with the remaining melted butter and sprinkle with the remaining cinnamon sugar. Return to the toaster oven and toast until the apples are soft and the sugar is bubbly, 8 to 10 minutes. Remove and sprinkle with salt to taste. Drizzle with caramel sauce, if using.

APPLE TART

Steps:

• Take 1 taco shell and cut out a circle. Brush it with melted butter. Sprinkle with granulated sugar. Put it between 2 cookie sheets and bake at 275 degrees for about 15 minutes.
• Cover an oven proof plate with tightly secured plastic wrap. Brush generously with melted butter. Peel the apple and core it. Thinly slice the apple with a mandoline. Fan out the slices on the plastic wrap so it is the same size as the cut taco shell circle. Brush the apple with melted butter. Sprinkle with granulated sugar. Bake at 360 degrees for about 10 minutes. Let it cool, but not completely. Slide the apple over the taco shell making sure it keeps its shape. Serve.

RUSTIC APPLE TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Toss the apples, sugar, cinnamon, allspice, and salt together in a large bowl.
• Roll the pastry, on a lightly floured surface, into a 12-inch round. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and spray with cooking spray. Arrange the pastry on the baking sheet. Put the apple mixture in the center of the pastry and spread evenly to the edges, but leaving enough dough to fold over to create a crust on the rim. Brush the crust with melted butter and drizzle the remaining butter over the apples.
• Bake until the crust is golden brown, about 40 minutes.
• While tart is cooking, put the peach preserves into a microwavable bowl and microwave until syrupy, about 20 seconds.
• Remove the tart from oven and brush with the warmed preserves. Pull the parchment paper off the sheet tray and transfer the tart to a wire rack to cool. Cut as desired and serve.

QUICK AND EASY APPLE TART

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F.
• Place the puffed pastry rectangles onto a baking pan that's been sprayed with nonstick spray or lined with parchment paper. Add the sugar, salt and lemon juice to the apples. Stir to combine. Allow to sit for a few minutes.
• Arrange the apple slices on the pastry rectangles in a straight line, overlapping as you go. Bake until the pastry is puffed and golden brown, about 20 minutes.
• Remove from the pan immediately and place on a serving platter. Serve with caramel sauce and chopped pecans.

EASY APPLE TARTS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 180C/160C fan/gas 4. On a lightly floured surface, roll the pastry out to a rectangle about the size of this magazine and trim the edges to neaten. Place the pastry on a baking sheet and scatter with the almonds and 1 tbsp sugar. Score perforated lines to make 6 equal-size sections (this will make the tart easier to cut). Arrange each half of apple, sliced, in its own section of pastry. Can be made up to this stage the night before, covered with cling film and chilled in the fridge.
• Scatter the remaining sugar over the apples, dot with butter, then bake for 50-55 mins until the pastry is biscuity brown and the apples are tinged and soft. Cut the tart into 6 squares, dust with icing sugar, if you like, and serve hot with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
