Ingredients
 

Main Ingredients

  • 14 oz puff pastry, thawed store-bought
  • 1.25 lb baking apples, peeled and thinly sliced Honeycrisp or Granny Smith
  • 0.33 cup granulated sugar
  • 2 tbsp light brown sugar packed
  • 1 tbsp lemon juice fresh
  • 1 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 1 tbsp cornstarch
  • 0.125 tsp fine sea salt
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
  • 3 tbsp apricot jam for glazing
  • 0.5 tsp vanilla extract
  • 2 tbsp all-purpose flour for dusting
  • 1 tbsp coarse sugar for sprinkling

Instructions

Preparation Steps

  • Heat oven to 400°F. Line a large baking sheet with parchment.
  • Dust the counter with flour. Roll puff pastry to a thin rectangle.
  • Move pastry to the sheet. Score a 1-inch border and dock the center.
  • Toss sliced apples with lemon juice, sugars, cinnamon, salt, cornstarch, and vanilla.
  • Arrange apples inside the border, slightly overlapping in rows.
  • Brush apples and pastry edges with melted butter. Sprinkle with coarse sugar.
  • Bake until apples are tender and pastry is deep golden, 30 to 35 minutes.
  • Warm apricot jam with a splash of water. Brush over hot apples to glaze.
  • Cool 10 minutes. Slice and serve warm or at room temperature.

Notes

Variation: Swap apricot jam with apple jelly or orange marmalade for a different glaze. Serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream. Leftovers keep covered at room temperature for 1 day or refrigerated for 3 days; reheat briefly to crisp.
