 This delicious Apple Tart is made with only 5 ingredients, a simple, fast and easy dessert. Add a scoop of ice cream and a drizzle of caramel sauce. Perfect!

This is one of my family’s favourite desserts, a scoop of my No Churn Vanilla Ice Cream and a drizzle of Homemade Caramel Sauce and you have a delicious dessert for family or guests.

I have been on a Puff Pastry Craze for quite awhile now. Our favourites are  Sporcamus and Chocolate Pastry Bread.

I love how this Apple Tart whips up into such a  fast and easy Dessert. That believe me, gets eaten up faster than any This-took-me-forever-to-make kind of Cake!

This Delicate Rustic Cinnamon Apple Tart, is made with only 5 ingredients. It takes about 10 minutes to put together and bakes in about 20 minutes.

Can’t get better than that!

I have to tell you that I have made this tart at least 3 times in the last 2 weeks and every time they were gone in minutes. I was lucky to even get a taste!

The best Apples for baking

You don’t want an overly juicy apple or your pastry will be soggy so any one of these apples would work Empire, Gala, Golden Delicious, Granny Smith, Gravenstein, Honeycrisp or my absolute favourite Fuji.

In Italy now there are a wide selection of apples, when I first came I think I had a choice of one or two!

But my two favourite baking apples are Fuji and Gala and if I have to I’ll reach for a Golden Delicious.

 Cinnamon Apple Puff Pastry Squares

This is the perfect dessert to make when you don’t have much time, so therefore I like to use store bought puff pastry. But if you prefer to make your own, then this Homemade Puff Pastry is easy and very good.

What is the difference between a Pie and a Tart?

  • A Pie is always round, a Tart can be round, square, rectangle pretty well any shape.
  • A Pie crust is flaky, a Tart crust is firm or crumbly.
  • Pies can have a bottom crust only, a top crust only or a top and bottom crust, whereas a Tart has only a bottom crust.

Instead of sprinkling the cinnamon mixture on the sliced apples I mixed it all together, that way the apple slices were definitely coated well.

Don’t slice your apples too thick or they won’t bake perfectly, too thin and they could burn.

This is really delicious warm, the combination of the cinnamon, brown sugar and apple makes  its own syrup. So yummy!

You can eat these on their own or add a scoop of your favourite ice cream, and why not drizzle a little caramel sauce on top!

 Let me know if you make them and if you enjoyed them as much as we did!

        You say: “Coat well each slice of Apple and place one slice on each square. ”. What “square” are you referring to??

        Hi: This looks really good. Just one thing though, how about adding about 1/2 teaspoon of nutmeg with the cinnamon. Try it, you’ll like it.

          Hi Anne, I’m not crazy about nutmeg, but if you are then sure add it. 🙂
