Instructions

Preheat your oven at a time that’s appropriate to 375 degrees.
Take one sheet of defrosted puff pastry and cut it into six rectangles. My video in the recipe card shows this well. After you cut the puff pastry, put it back in the refrigerator until ready to use. Puff pastry should be kept cold as long as possible.
Core the apples with a coring tool or paring knife. Cut the apple in half, then slice into thin half-moon slices. You should be able to get 36 slices of apples out of the two apples. The goal is SIX apple slices per tart. I didn’t peel the apples and didn’t think it mattered at all. If you want to peel them you can.
Beat one egg plus a splash of water if you’re using the egg wash. It’s optional but I like doing it.
Line a sheet pan with parchment paper. Drizzle the honey onto the parchment paper for each of the SIX tarts. I zig-zagged the honey into the approximate size of the puff pastry piece.
Add one pat of butter on top of each zig-zag of honey, a generous pinch of brown sugar, a tiny pinch of salt, and a generous pinch of cinnamon.
Place six apple slices on top of each honey, butter, etc.. pile.
Top each tart with one of the puff pastry rectangles and brush with egg wash. The egg wash is optional.
Cook in a preheated oven at 375 degree for about 20-25 minutes or until the puff pastry turns golden brown.
Serve immediately. They taste great on their own or with some caramel sauce and vanilla ice cream. Can also top with sifted powdered sugar.
