Easy Vegan French Apple Tart

Warm, melt-in-your-mouth pastry and sweet, tangy apples in puff pastry. An incredibly easy and delicious dessert.

This French Apple Tart uses butter-free puff pastry (which can be found in any supermarket) to make it vegan.

It also contains no added fats and only a small amount of coconut sugar, a nutritional and tastier alternative to brown or regular sugar. Best of all, it’s only 150 calories per slice! 

This apple tart would be amazing served with some coconut milk ice cream! Or you could just have it on it’s own and shove it into your mouth like a slice of pizza (like I did.)

Forget the pretty plates and forks you see in the photo above… They were not used in the eating of this tart. 

If you have a fair amount of leftover dough after cutting the circle base out, you might be able to make another mini tart to bake along side it.

I was able to make an individual one which gave me the opportunity to try some of the tart whilst I was photographing it (and therefore stopping me from picking at the one in the photos! For a while at least…)

Ingredients

• 1 x 375 g / 13.5 oz ready-made puff pastry*
• 2 Granny Smith (baking) apples, peeled and cored
• Aquafaba or dairy-free milk, for brushing
• 1 tbsp brown sugar
• Apricot jam for glazing

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 190C / 375F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Make sure the puff pastry is at room temperature.
2. Roll the pastry out to about ½ inch thick. Use a plate or pot lid to cut a circle (approx 10 inches)
3. Use a sharp knife to score an inner border around the circle of pastry, about ½ inch away from the edge. Score a criss cross pattern in the centre of the pastry to prevent it rising too much in the middle.
4. Thinly slice the apples and arrange them onto the pastry sheet, fanning out from the outside in, overlapping each other.
5. Brush the border of the pastry with a little almond milk and sprinkle the coconut sugar on top of the apples.
6. Bake in the oven for approximately 30 minutes, until the tart is golden and the apples are soft.
7. Leave to cool on the baking sheet for a moment whilst you heat the apricot jam in a saucepan with a small drop of water.
8. Using a pastry brush, glaze the top of the tart with the apricot jam.
9. Serve and enjoy! Can be enjoyed warm or at room-temperature.

Notes

*Make sure you get the dairy-free kind, not the "butter-enriched" one. Leave at room temperature for about 20 minutes before starting.
