Can apple tarts be made ahead of time?

You can make the pie completely ahead of time and freeze it, then reheat it. Make the crust dough ahead of time, wrap it in plastic wrap, and chill or freeze it.

Should apple tart be refrigerated?

If the apple tart is whole and was baked less than two days ago, it does not need to be refrigerated. Put it in the fridge if you’ve cut into it or it’s been out on the counter for more than two days.

What are the ingredients to make easy individual cinnamon apple tarts with maple whipped cream?

This recipe has a prep time of 20 minutes plus time to thaw puff pastry. It cooks for about 35 to 40 minutes and will yield 4 apple tarts. The following are the ingredients you’re going to need:

• Frozen puff pastry – It’s cheap and may be found beside frozen pie crusts in the frozen food dessert department.
• Egg yolk – You can either beat and freeze the egg white or keep it and use it in an omelet for breakfast.
• Unsalted butter – It allows us to regulate the amount of salt we consume.
• Apples – Because they don’t cook for very long, practically any apple will do.
• Brown sugar – Remember that 1 cup white sugar with 1-2 tablespoons molasses equals 1 cup brown sugar if you don’t keep it since it hardens too rapidly.
• Ground cinnamon, nutmeg, ground cloves – The “apple tart spices.”
• Heavy whipped cream – Ideal for topping on the tarts.
• Maple syrup – Because maple and apples go so well together, use this instead of ordinary sugar to flavor the whipped cream.
• Water

Now that you have gathered all of your ingredients, it is time to make this recipe. Follow the instructions below.

First, puff pastry should be defrosted overnight in the refrigerator.

Then preheat the oven to 400°F with the top oven rack in the middle position.

Blend 1 pint heavy whipping cream with a hand or immersion mixer until it doubles in volume in a large mixing basin. Then sprinkle in the maple syrup and continue to combine until the mixture is light and fluffy. Cover and keep refrigerated until ready to serve.

To make an egg wash, whisk together one egg yolk and water until smooth. Place aside.

Next, remove the thawed puff pastry from the fridge. Roll pastry into a uniform square shape on a lightly floured surface. Place squares on a large rimmed baking sheet coated with parchment paper or a Silpat™ baking mat and cut into four equal-sized squares.

While preparing the apple mixture, dock (pierce with a fork) the middle of each dough square and set the baking sheet in the freezer.

Then in a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter. Cook, stirring periodically, for 3-4 minutes or until apple slices are tender. Brown sugar, cinnamon, nutmeg, and ground cloves should all be added to the pan. Remove from heat and set aside after stirring to mix.

Remove one-quarter of the apple mixture from the freezer and pour it into the center of each square of puff pastry. To “seal” the pastry, fold each corner toward the center of the square, but leave a couple of vents.

Preheat the oven and place the baking sheet inside. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the crust is light and fluffy. The tart should be a beautiful golden brown when done. Because each oven’s cooking time will vary, keep an eye on the pastries to avoid overbrowning.

Lastly, remove from the oven and set aside to cool. Top with maple whipped cream and/or ice cream before serving. Enjoy!
