Apple Butter and Melted Brie Tart
a sweet and savory puff pastry tart with cinnamon apple butter, melted brie cheese, crisp apples, bacon, and fresh thyme
servings: 8-12
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 (14 oz) sheet puff pastry, thawed
- 1 cup apple butter (store-bought or recipe below)
- ½ lb wedge of brie, halved crosswise + sliced ¼”
- 1 large apple, cored + thinly sliced
- olive oil
- kosher salt
- freshly cracked black pepper
- 4 oz bacon, diced
- 1 tsp fresh thyme
- 1 egg yolk
- 1 tbsp milk
- flaky sea salt
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 425°F. Line a half sheet pan with parchment paper. Unfold the puff pastry into a rectangle. Spread the apple butter evenly onto the dough, leaving a 1” border.
- Arrange the brie and apples over the apple butter. Drizzle with olive oil and season with salt and black pepper. Top with the bacon and fresh thyme.
- Fold the edges of dough over the apples and pinch the corners together. Combine the egg yolk and milk in a small bowl. Brush this egg wash onto the border of the dough. Sprinkle the flaky sea salt onto the border.
- Bake the tart for about 30 minutes, or until golden and cooked through. Let the tart sit for about 5 minutes to cool. Transfer it to a cutting board. Cut into 8 or 12 pieces and serve immediately.
Notes
For any bubbles that puff up when baking the tart, you can just poke them with the tip of a knife and they’ll deflate.
