With just a few ingredients and no special equipment other than a potato peeler, someone who's never baked before can create this beautiful dessert that looks like it came from a professional pastry shop. These individual tarts have a buttery, crispy pastry with a massive amount of apple flavor and they're sweetened just enough with a touch of sugar and cinnamon. Brush the tops with simple syrup or melted apricot jam and serve with vanilla ice cream or whipped cream, if desired.

Ingredients

  • sheet frozen puff pastry: 1 piece
  • packed brown sugar: 2 Tbsp
  • white sugar: 1 Tbsp
  • pinch ground cinnamon: 1 piece
  • pinch salt: 1 piece
  • unsalted butter: 4 tsp (divided)
  • lemon juice: 1 tsp
  • Honeycrisp apples: 2 piece

  1. Gather Ingredients. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Set out two 6-ounce ramekins. ALLRECIPES / ANA CADENA

  2. Place puff pastry sheet on a work surface and let thaw for just 5 minutes; it should still be partially frozen and very firm. Use a round pastry cutter the same diameter as your ramekins to cut out 2 rounds of dough. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet. Prick each pastry round all over with a fork. ALLRECIPES / ANA CADENA

  3. Bake in the preheated oven until the pastries are puffed up and the bottoms are golden brown, about 15 minutes. ALLRECIPES / ANA CADENA

  4. Remove from the oven and slide parchment paper off the baking pan onto a work surface; press warm pastries down lightly with the back of a fork to deflate them a bit. Let cool. ALLRECIPES / ANA CADENA

  5. Increase the oven temperature to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Mix brown sugar, white sugar, a pinch of cinnamon, and a very small pinch of salt together in a bowl. ALLRECIPES / ANA CADENA

  6. Use 1 1/2 teaspoons butter to generously grease the bottom and sides of each ramekin. Spoon the sugar mixture evenly into each ramekin, reserving about 1 1/2 teaspoons for later. Shake ramekins gently to settle and flatten the sugar mixture. ALLRECIPES / ANA CADENA

  8. Turn one apple on its side; trim about 1/4 inch off the top and bottom of the apple, then cut it in half through the center. Repeat with the second apple. ALLRECIPES / ANA CADENA

  9. Peel around the apple halves to remove the peel; discard. Continue to peel the flesh, making ribbons as long and as thick as possible until you reach the core, letting the ribbons drop into the water. As long as your ribbons are 3- to 4-inches long, that's fine. ALLRECIPES / ANA CADENA

  10. Pull out 3 to 4 of the longest ribbons and line them up on a work surface into one long ribbon, overlapping the ends an inch or so. ALLRECIPES / ANA CADENA

  11. Roll the ribbon up tightly to form the center of the tart, then turn it up on its end. ALLRECIPES / ANA CADENA

  12. Coil more ribbons around the center, overlapping as you go, until you have a coil that's the same diameter as your ramekin. Pick up the apple coil and place it into the ramekin, with the flat side on top of the sugar. Repeat to make the second tart. ALLRECIPES / ANA CADENA

  15. Bake in the preheated oven until pastries have browned and juices are bubbling, about 30 minutes. Remove from the oven and press the hot pastries down gently with a fork. Let cool for about 10 minutes. ALLRECIPES / ANA CADENA

  16. Run a knife around each pastry, then turn over onto serving plates. Use a spoon to go around each tart to separate the layers and create more definition, if desired. ALLRECIPES / ANA CADENA
