Spiced Apple Tart with Ice Cream and Maple Syrup (5+5=10 ingredients)
Puff Pastry Dough Sheet, Vanilla Pudding, Sliced Apples, Apple Pie Spice, Butter, Sugar, Ice Cream, Maple Syrup, and a spoon (and a smile)
Ingredients:
2 sheets of Puff pastry dough, thawed while in the package
2 cups Vanilla pudding (homemade, or store bought)
3 Apples, cored, sliced thin (Granny Smith is my favorite)
2 table spoons Butter, cut into small pieces
2 teaspoons of Apple Pie Spice
¼ cup sugar (about)
Vanilla Bean Ice Cream – 1 scoop per person
¼ cup pure Maple syrup – as needed
Remove puff pastry sheet from package. Unfold one sheet onto a parchment paper covered cookie pan.
Poke sheet many, many times with a fork to retard rising. Brush edge with water. Unfold second sheet of puff pastry dough.
With a pastry wheel cutter, or a sharp knife, cut the sheet into ½” strips. Lay the strips around the edge of the first pastry sheet to create a “frame”. The frame should be at least two layers high.
Spread the pudding onto the pastry sheet, inside the frame. Shingle sliced apples on top of the pudding. Place butter pieces on top of the apples. Sprinkle on the apple pie spice and the sugar.
Bake at 400* until very brown. Remove from oven and slide onto serving dish or cutting board. At dessert time, cut the tart into portions. Place a portion on each plate.
Top tart piece with a scoop of ice cream and drizzle with maple syrup. Enjoy!
