Ingredients
  

  • 2 - 17.3 oz packages frozen puff pastry (4 sheets) thawed
  • 1 egg beaten
  • 6 oz soft fresh goat cheese about 2/4 cup packed
  • 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice
  • 1/4 tsp coarse kosher salt
  • 3 medium gala apples peeled, quartered, cored, cut into 1/8in thick slices
  • 3/4 cup honey preferably dark, divided
  • 1/2 tsp ground allspice

Instructions
 

  • Line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
  • Roll out each puff pastry sheet on a lightly floured surface to measure 11-inches square.
  • Using a 5-inch-diameter cookie cutter or bowl, cut out four rounds from each pastry sheet, forming 16 rounds total.
  • Divide eight pastry rounds between prepared baking sheets; pierce rounds all over with a fork. Using a 3 1/2-inch-diameter cookie cutter or bowl, cut out smaller rounds from center of remaining 8 rounds (reserve 3 1/2-inch rounds for another use), forming eight 5-inch-diameter rings.
  • Brush the outer I-inch edges of 5-inch rounds on baking sheets with a beaten egg; top each with one pastry ring.
  • Freeze for at least 30 minutes. This can be made one day ahead of time. Cover and keep frozen. Do not thaw before continuing.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Mix cheese, lemon juice, and salt in a bowl; spread the mixture inside the rings on the frozen pastry rounds. Overlap the apple slices on top of the cheese.
  • Mix butter and 1/4 cup of honey in a small bowl; brush over the apples. Sprinkle them with allspice.
  • Bake apples until they are tender and pastry is golden, about 35 minutes.
  • Place tartlets on plates. Drizzle one tablespoon of honey over each and serve warm or at room temperature.

Planning Tip

  • Bake the tartlets four to six hours ahead, then store them uncovered at room temperature. Rewarm in a 350°P oven for five to ten minutes. Drizzle tartlets with honey just before serving.
