Ingredients
1 sheet Gluten-Free Puff Pastry, fully thawed
2 large Granny Smith apples, thinly sliced
0.5 cup salted butter, softened
2 tablespoons honey
0.5 teaspoon ground cinnamon
0.5 teaspoon apple pie spice
0.5 cup crushed pecans
6 tablespoons caramel sauce
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the gluten-free puff pastry onto the prepared baking sheet.
In a small bowl, whisk together the softened butter, honey, cinnamon, and apple pie spice until creamy.
Spread the butter mixture evenly over the entire surface of the pastry.
Arrange the thinly sliced apples in an overlapping pattern across the pastry, leaving a small border for the crust.
Sprinkle the crushed pecans over the apples.
Bake for 30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and the apples are tender.
Remove from the oven and drizzle the caramel sauce over the warm tart before slicing and serving.
Notes
Ensure the puff pastry is completely thawed to prevent cracking when unrolling. If the pastry seems too soft, place it in the refrigerator for 10 minutes before adding the toppings. This tart is best served warm, but can be kept in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
