Chinon Apple Tarts Recipe

Name: Chinon Apple Tarts
Prep time: 25 min
Cook time: 50 min
Total time: 26 min
Yield: 4 servings
Cuisine: France
Ingredients: 320g Puff Pastry; 4 tbs Dark Brown Soft Sugar; 3 Braeburn Apples; 4 tbs Red Wine Jelly; 100ml Creme Fraiche; 1 tbs Icing Sugar; 3 Cardamom

These apple tarts feature thin slices of Braeburn apples baked on puff pastry, brushed with a homemade red wine jelly. The pastry gets a quick grill to caramelize the sugar before baking, giving it a crisp base. While the red wine jelly takes about 20 minutes to reduce, you can make it up to a month ahead and keep it in the fridge. Serve them warm with a dollop of cardamom-spiced crème fraîche for a bright, creamy contrast.
