Festive puff pastry tartlets shaped like Christmas trees, filled with creamy brie, sweet caramel, and tender apple slices for a holiday treat that’s almost too cute to eat!
Ingredients
Tartlets:
1 sheet puff pastry, thawed
4 oz brie cheese, sliced into small pieces
1 medium apple, thinly sliced
1/4 cup caramel sauce
1 egg, beaten (for egg wash)
Garnish:
Powdered sugar (optional, for dusting)
Fresh rosemary sprigs (optional, for decoration)
Instructions
Prepare the Puff Pastry:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Roll out the puff pastry on a lightly floured surface. Using a Christmas tree-shaped cookie cutter, cut out as many trees as possible.
Assemble the Tartlets:
Place half of the pastry trees on the prepared baking sheet.
Add a small piece of brie cheese to the center of each tree.
Layer with thin apple slices and drizzle with a little caramel sauce.
Top each filled tree with another puff pastry tree. Press the edges gently to seal.
Brush the tops with beaten egg for a golden, shiny finish.
Bake:
Bake the tartlets in the preheated oven for 15-18 minutes, or until the pastry is puffed and golden brown.
Garnish and Serve:
Let the tartlets cool slightly before dusting with powdered sugar for a snowy effect.
Garnish with fresh rosemary sprigs to mimic a holiday tree.
Serve warm for the ultimate festive treat!
