Ingredients
  

  • 1 18 ounce package puff pastry sheets 2 rolls, thawed
  • 2-3 small apples
  • 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
  • 1/2 cup soft goat cheese
  • 1/3 cup brown sugar
  • 2-3 Tablespoons honey for drizzle
  • 1-2 teaspoons fresh thyme, chopped optional

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Roll out the puff pastry sheets on to a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  • Use a knife to score the outside of each puff pastry, creating a "crust" about 1/2 inch from the edge.
  • Use a fork to create several holes (without puncturing all the way through) throughout the middle of each pastry sheet. Set aside.
  • Wash the apples and cut into thin slices.
  • Place the apples in a bowl and combine with the lemon juice, tossing to ensure that each slice is covered.
  • Spread or crumble the goat cheese evenly over the puff pastry sheets, adding more than the amount in this recipe if desired.
  • Lay the apple slices evenly over goat cheese.
  • Sprinkle the brown sugar evenly over the apples.
  • Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the edges begin to brown and the apples are soft.
  • Let cool for about 10 minutes, then drizzle honey and add chopped thyme (optional) over the puff pastries.
  • Slice into 8-16 rectangles.
  • Serve and enjoy!

Notes

  • If making this for breakfast or brunch, you make want to cut into the larger 8 tart rectangles. Otherwise, slicing the pastry into 16 smaller rectangles works really great if you're offering this recipe as an appetizer or dessert!
