Apple Tart
1 sheet puff pastry
4 Granny Smith apples, cored and sliced thin
½ cup sugar
2 tablespoons butter
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. On lightly floured surface roll puff pastry slightly to eliminate creases and to form a rectangle. Place the crust onto a parchment lined baking sheet. Spread out apples in three rows. Sprinkle the apples with sugar and dot with butter. Fold edges of the crust up to create the border. Bake the tart for 30-35 minutes or until crust is golden brown and apples are tender. Allow to cool before slicing to serve.
