Apple tarts air fryer

Here’s a quick and easy air fryer apple tarts recipe—crispy, sweet, and perfect for a snack or dessert:

---

Ingredients (makes 4–6 small tarts)

• 1 sheet puff pastry (thawed)

• 2 medium apples (such as Granny Smith or Honeycrisp), thinly sliced

Instructions

1. Prep the apples:

   • In a bowl, toss apple slices with lemon juice, brown sugar, and cinnamon.

2. Prepare the puff pastry:

   • Cut the puff pastry sheet into squares (4–6 squares, depending on size).

   • Lightly score a 1/2-inch border around each square (don’t cut all the way through).

3. Assemble the tarts:

   • Arrange apple slices inside each square, slightly overlapping.

   • Fold the edges over slightly if desired.

4. Egg wash:

   • Beat the egg and brush over the puff pastry edges for a golden finish.

5. Air fry:

   • Preheat the air fryer to 350°F (175°C).

   • Place tarts in the basket (don’t overcrowd).

   • Cook for 10–12 minutes or until the puff pastry is golden and crisp.

6. Serve:

   • Let cool slightly, then drizzle with powdered sugar or caramel sauce if desired.

💡 Tips:

• Use thin apple slices so they cook evenly.

• If you like, sprinkle a little nutmeg or chopped nuts for extra flavor.

• For mini tarts, cut the puff pastry into smaller squares and adjust cooking time to 7–9 minutes.

I can also give a quick 5-minute filling hack with honey and vanilla that makes these tarts extra fragrant if you want. Do you want me to include that version?
