Easy Puff Pastry Apple Tarts

 Instructions:

1. Preheat Oven:
   • Preheat to 400°F (200°C).
   • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prepare Apples:
   • In a bowl, toss sliced apples with lemon juice, cinnamon, and sugar. Set aside.
3. Prepare Puff Pastry:
   • Unfold the puff pastry sheet and cut into 6 rectangles or squares.
   • Score a small border (about 1/4 inch) around the edge of each piece using a knife (don’t cut all the way through).
   • Prick the centers with a fork to keep them from puffing too much.
4. Assemble Tarts:
   • Arrange apple slices in overlapping rows inside the scored border.
   • Brush melted butter over the apples and edges of the pastry.
5. Bake:
   • Bake for 18–22 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crisp.
6. Glaze (Optional):
   • Warm a spoonful of honey or apricot jam and brush over the apples for a glossy finish.
7. Serve:
   • Enjoy warm or at room temperature, optionally with a scoop of vanilla ice cream or a dollop of whipped cream.
