Equipment

  • Pie Dough Rolling Pin - A sturdy rolling pin designed specifically to roll out pie dough evenly and thinly without sticking.

  • Bowl Whisk Set - Essential for mixing the tartlet components thoroughly and achieving a smooth texture.

  • Mini Food Processor with Dough Blade - Can be used for quickly preparing filling elements that require pureeing, such as apples or nuts (optional).

Ingredients

  • 2 17.3-ounce packages frozen puff pastry (4 sheets), thawed

  • 1 egg, beaten to blend

  • 6 ounces soft fresh goat cheese (about 3/4 cup packed)

  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice

  • 1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt

  • 3 medium Gala apples, peeled, quartered, cored, cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices

Instruction 1

Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Roll out each puff pastry sheet on lightly floured surface to 11-inch square. Using 5-inch-diameter cookie cutter or bowl, cut out 4 rounds from each pastry sheet, forming 16 rounds total. Divide 8 pastry rounds between prepared baking sheets; pierce rounds all over with fork. Using 3 1/2-inch-diameter cookie cutter or bowl, cut out smaller rounds from center of remaining 8 rounds (reserve 3 1/2-inch rounds for another use), forming eight 5-inch-diameter rings. Brush outer 1-inch edges of 5-inch rounds on baking sheets with beaten egg; top each with 1 pastry ring. Freeze at least 30 minutes. DO AHEAD: Can be made 1 day ahead. Cover and keep frozen. Do not thaw before continuing.

Instruction 2

Preheat oven to 375°F. Mix cheese, lemon juice, and salt in bowl; spread mixture inside rings on frozen pastry rounds. Overlap apple slices atop cheese. Mix butter and 1/4 cup honey in small bowl; brush over apples. Sprinkle with allspice. Bake until apples are tender and pastry is golden, about 35 minutes. Place tartlets on plates. Drizzle 1 tablespoon honey over each and serve warm or at room temperature.
