Pumpkin Cookies with White Chocolate and Pecans If you like these Apple Almond Rose Tarts be Sure to take a look at some of my other recipes!Ĭherry and Blueberry White Chocolate Chip Cookies Let these cool for at least 5 minutes and enjoy. Place each tart into the cup of a muffin tin and then pop that into the freezer for 5 minutes ( cold puffy pastry bakes up much more flaky and tender) and then bake the tarts for 20 minutes. Layer almond slices on top of puff pastry, leaving a 1 inch border on each end, and roll into a tight spiral. Next roll out the almond paste into a 6 x 10 inch square and slice into 1/2 inch long slices and then place an almond paste slice on each slice of puff pastry. Start by rolling out your puff pastry into a 12 inch by 12 inch square and cut into 1 inch long slices ( a pizza cutter works fabulously here). In a bowl combine sugar, cinnamon salt and sliced apples and toss to coat the apples. The second is ensuring your puff pastry is cold, this will make the dough easier to work with and make for a flakier tart.

The first is to slice your apples very thin and a mandolin is your best bet though you can certainly get this with careful knife work. There are two things that will make these apple rose tarts their best. You can use marzipan in this recipe but your tarts will be sweeter with a less pronounced almond taste. Marzipan is sometimes referred to as almond candy dough and is often colored and molded into shapes. They are both made with almonds and sugar, though almond paste has a higher ratio of almonds and is less sweet. What is the difference between almond paste and marzipan?Īlmond paste and marzipan are quite similar and often found near each other in the baking section of your supermarket. You can find puff pastry in the freezer section common brands include Dafour ( made with butter and my preferred choice) and Pepperidge Farm ( made with vegetable based fats and is vegan). If you have the time and inclination you can certainly make puff pastry from scratch but excellent puff pastry is available at the store and is a great shortcut for creating desserts and appetizers. Puff pastry is a laminated pastry that is made with layers of butter and dough, this creates a pastry that is light and flaky.
