Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
1 sheet (1/2 pound) frozen puff pastry -- thawed
1 Granny Smith apple
2 tablespoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon
1 tablespoon cold unsalted butter -- cut into bits
2 tablespoons apricot jam -- heated and strained
Vanilla ice cream or whipped cream
as an accompaniment


Roll out the pastry 1/8 inch thick on a lightly floured surface,
cut out two 7-inch rounds, and transfer them to a baking sheet.
Peel, halve lengthwise, and core the apple, slice it thin crosswise,
and arrange the slices, overlapping them slightly, on the pastry
rounds. In a small bowl stir together the sugar and the cinnamon,
sprinkle the mixture evenly over the apples, and dot the tarts with
the
butter. Bake the tarts in the middle of a pre-heated 400 degree oven
for 25 minutes, or until the pastry is golden brown. Transfer the
tarts
to a rack, brush them with the jam and serve them warm with ice
cream.

Yield: 2 serving
