November deserves a warm welcome.

This weekend I decided to check out that easy apple tart recipe as seen on several YouTube accounts and bring warmth to my kitchen table!

I used o think apples are boring and underestimated its taste in baking. I think I consumed them a lot as a snack and didn’t find it attractive anymore. Luckily this year I made peace with the apple! In fact, my new neighbor-friend made me discover its taste via her yummy German baking!

The recipe is super easy however I adjusted the apple-cooking step since I am not a microwave fan for cooking directly.

Ingredients:
1 frozen Puff Pastry dough
4 pink Apples (red & yellow stripes)
1 tbs Flour, to sprinkle the counter
3 tbs Lavender-Apricot jam (simple apricot jam can do the trick)
1 tbs Cinnamon (as much as you like)
2 tbs. Agave Syrup (replacing granulated sugar)
100 ml Water

1. Take out the frozen Puff Pastry 30 minutes before you start rolling it.
2. Cut the apples in halves, remove the core and cut the apples in paper thin slices. Leave the peel so it will give a nice shape and color .

3. Toss the apple slices in a pan with cinnamon and agave syrup for about a minute then add water and keep stirring over medium-high heat for 5 minutes maximum. Drain the slices (they should be lightly firm) and reheat the remaining liquid till you get a light caramelization.

4. Unwrap the puff pastry over a clean and lightly floured counter. Stretch the dough with a rolling pin keeping it in a rectangular shape. Cut the dough in long strips (5 cm x 22 cm).

5.  Spread the jam on the dough and place the apples on the dough in horizontal. Sprinkle with cinnamon then fold up he dough.

6. Roll the apple-dough strips carefully and pinch the sides so it is well sealed and put them in a greased muffin tray in the oven for 40 minutes at 250°C.

Enjoy those delights with your coffee or tea!
