Cheddar Apple Tarts
These cheesy Cheddar Apple Tarts are a savory treat perfect for fall parties, Friendsgiving gatherings, or Thanksgiving.
- Prep Time: 20 minutes
- Cook Time: 15-20 minutes
- Total Time: 40 minutes
- Yield: *3
Ingredients
- Puff Pastry, room temperature
- 1–2 Cups White Cheddar, shredded
- 2–3 Apples, depending on the size of the apples
- 1–2 Tablespoons Butter
Toppings
- Fresh Thyme
- Flaky Sea Salt
- Honey
Instructions
1. First, preheat your oven to 400°F.
2. Next, cut the room temperature puff pastry into circles using a biscuit cutter*(1) and create stems and leaves with the extra puff pastry to attach to each puff pastry circle.
3. Place the puff pastry circles on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and place a puff pastry stem and puff pastry leaf slightly under each puff pastry circle.
4. Next, place the shredded cheese in the center of each circle.
5. Thinly slice the apples and place them on top of the cheese in the center of the puff pastry, fanned out to give it a 3D effect. I placed 2 large apple slices, then 2 medium apple slices, and finally 2 smaller apple slices on each one.
6. Brush each Cheddar Apple Tart with melted butter.
7. Bake for 15-20 minutes, until golden.*(2)
8. Once baked, sprinkle with flaky sea salt, fresh thyme, and a drizzle of honey. Enjoy!
Notes
- My biscuit cutter is ~3 inches.
- Don’t worry if the cheese and apple start to slide off while baking, mine did too! Once finished baking, simply place the cheesy apples back on top of the puff pastry circle.
- The number of Cheddar Apple Tarts will depend on how close together you cut the puff pastry circles.
