Ingredients1/2 quick puff pastry recipe 4 peeled, cored and sliced to 1/8th - thickness golden delicious apples 2 tablespoons lemon juice 2 teaspoons granulated sugar sprinkle sea salt 1 teaspoon cornstarch 1 1/2 cups grated gouda cheese 1 beaten large egg 1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves 1/4 cup honey 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes Get Ingredients Directions STEP 1 Place a rack in the upper third of the oven and preheat oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. STEP 2 Lightly flour the counter with flour and lightly flour a rolling pin, too. STEP 3 Roll the chilled puff pastry into a 1/4-inch thick rectangle. The size doesn't really matter, just go for thickness. Use a large knife to trim the edges to an even rectangle. Transfer the pastry to the prepared baking sheet. STEP 4 Use a small, sharp knife to score a rectangle 1-inch inside the edge of the pastry. Lightly brush pastry with egg wash. Sprinkle the pastry with half the cheese. STEP 5 In a medium bowl toss together apple slices, lemon juice, sugar, salt, and cornstarch. STEP 6 Line apple slices in three rows down the pastry. Sprinkle with the rest of the cheese. STEP 7 Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until golden and bubbling. STEP 8 Remove from the oven and allow to cool for 15 minutes. STEP 9 While the tart cools stir together honey and red pepper flakes. If you like it spicy, add the 1/2 teaspoon red pepper flakes. STEP 10 Slice tart into generous wedges. Drizzle with honey and dot with fresh oregano. Enjoy warm.
