Ingredient tips

Use pumpkin puree – not pumpkin pie filling. You may certainly make your own pumpkin puree but it is a time-consuming process. There are many commercial purees available so save yourself a little time around the holidays! If you’ve every wondered how companies make pumpkin puree, check out this article by Libby’s.

What’s not to love about a puff pastry dessert with it’s light, crispy and flaky texture? Yes, you can make your own puff pastry, but when you are short on time just purchase it from the market in the frozen dessert section. It is no small task to make puff pastry from scratch!

Tart assembly

One sheet of store-bought puff pastry is used in this recipe. Defrost the pastry in your fridge and cut it into the following dimensions: one 9" x 9" square and four 9" x ¼" strips. Brush a beaten egg white (or whole egg) on the 9" square. Place the strips on the sides of the square (this will be your outer crust). Brush the strips with the beaten egg. See the photos below for a visual description:

Serving

This tart is great on its own but consider the following if you wish to dress up your dessert plates:

  • A scoop of vanilla ice cream (anything is good with vanilla ice cream)
  • Drizzle with caramel
  • Add a dollop of sweetened whipped cream - add a dash of cinnamon to the whipped cream if desired.

Storage

Wrap any leftovers in foil or plastic wrap and store at room temperature. You don't want to make this far in advance as puff pastry desserts only last a day or two.

I hope you enjoy this classic pumpkin apple tart as much as my family and friends do!
