Equipment
- Medium mixing bowl
- Baking sheet
Ingredients
- 2 small apple such as Gala, Honeycrisp, or Granny Smith
- 4 tbsp brown sugar
- 8 oz cream cheese softened
- 1 large egg beaten or 2 tablespoons of beaten egg
- 1/4 tsp vanilla extract
- 6 puff pastry shells thawed according to package instructions
- Cinnamon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- Peel, core, and thinly slice the apples. In a medium bowl, combine the sliced apples with the brown sugar and a few dashes of cinnamon. Set the apple mixture aside.
- In another bowl, cream together the softened cream cheese and vanilla extract until smooth. Beat in the egg until well combined. Set the cream cheese mixture aside.
- Place the pastry puff shells on the prepared baking sheet, and bake for 15 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown and mostly risen.
- Remove the shells from the oven. Use a knife to remove the "tops" or the inside of the shells to fill.
- Fill each tart shell 1/3rd of the way with the cream cheese mixture. Then, top with apple slices.
- Bake in the oven for another 10 minutes at 375°F, until the edges are brown and filling is bubbly.
