Warm, flaky crust, filled with soft, sweet apples fried in butter and sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. Each apple tart is made from puff pastry, which makes the most tender crust for the juicy fruit.
On our farm, our apple trees are ready for picking and it's a mad dash to the kitchen to process the buckets of apples into sauce and prepared apple slices to freeze for winter pies. What a bountiful time of year this is!
