Caramel Apple Tarts

Ingredients:

• 4 red and/or green apples
• 1 sheet puff pastry
• 1/2 cup brown sugar
• 1/2 lemon, juiced
• 1/4 cup caramel dipping sauce
• 1/4 cup powdered sugar
• 3 tablespoons water

Here's How:

1. Preheat the oven to 425 F. Cut each apple in half and use a melon baller to remove the core and stems. Slice the apples into thin slices. Start thawing the puff pastry on the counter.
2. Place the apple slices in a large bowl and pour in the brown sugar. Squeeze on the lemon juice. Use your hands to gently toss the apples until covered with the brown sugar and lemon juice until completely covered. Let set until most of the sugar has dissolved, about ten minutes.
3. Unfold the puff pastry and cut it into three evenly sized strips (TIP: cut down the fold marks as guidelines). Spread a tablespoon of caramel sauce down the center of each strip, leaving about a half inch exposed around the edges.
4. Overlap the apple slices down the center of each strip of puff pastry. Pop into the oven and bake for twenty to twenty-five minutes or until the puff pastry is golden brown.
5. Let the pastries cool for about five minutes then spread another tablespoon of caramel sauce down the center of each.
6. In a small bowl, whisk together the powdered sugar and water until a smooth icing forms - more water or powdered sugar may be required to achieve this consistency. Drizzle the icing over the pastries.
7. Cut the pastries into even sized triangles. Serve warm or room temperature with a big scoop of vanilla ice cream. Enjoy!
